LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: In Nepal, invoking the well-worn phrase "palace intrigue" would seem putting it mildly, after Friday's fatal shootings at the royal palace in Kathmandu. The king, queen, and other royal family members were gunned down. Some have blamed the shooting on the crown prince, who allegedly shot himself, and since has since died. But is that really what happened in Kathmandu? The latest from correspondent Kasra Naji.</s>KASRA NAJI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Angry demonstrations broke out across the city soon after it was announced that Crown Prince Dipendra had died of his injuries. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowds. Demonstrators demanded the person responsible for the massacre at the palace on Friday night be hanged. They want to know the full truth. Not far away, Crown Prince Gyanendra was hurriedly sworn in as Nepal's next king. He is the brother of the late King Birendra, and was not present at the palace at the time of the massacre. He was then taken in a carriage protected by troops and royal guards to his new residence, the palace. But many, angry at the lack of official information, said they will not accept the new king. Others even allege the new king had a hand in the conspiracy to murder the entire royal family. (on camera): The new king's reign has got off to an uncertain start, his statement on Sunday, saying the massacre at the palace was the result of an accident, was obviously a mistake; few people believed it, and it cost him the trust of the people. He now says there will be an inquiry into the whole affair. (voice-over): To restore calm here and gain the confidence of a deeply grieved and angered population, he has to act fast.
