Uma Singh height - How tall is Uma Singh?

Uma Singh ( ca. 1983 – January 11, 2009), a Nepalese journalist for the Janakpur Today newspaper and Radio Today FM radio station from Janakpur, Nepal in the Terai region, focused on women's rights before she was murdered for her journalism and close connection with women's activism. According to BBC News, Singh was the first female journalist to be killed in Nepal.

Singh was murdered in her home in Janakpur, Nepal on January 11, 2009. She lived by herself in an apartment that she rented. On January 11, 2009 she came home from work in the evening and was making dinner when 12-20 men came into her apartment and started stabbing her with sharp objects. Singh had many stab wounds on every part of her body. She died on the way to the hospital from multiple stab wounds. Singh had neighbors, but they never heard anything, which means there are no witnesses. At first her killers were unknown but later revealed to be Lalita Devi Singh, Nemlal Paswan, Shraban Yadav, Bimlesh Jha, and Abhishek Singh. Lalita Singh was Uma Singh's sister-in-law, Pawswan and Abhishek Singh were known for criminal elements, Yadav was a district-leel activist of the UCPN(M), and Jha was a party activist of the Terai Ekta Parishad. Lalita Singh, Yadav, and Nemlal Paswasn are serving life sentences and the others were "handed down clean chits by the court."

The police did an investigation on Singh's death. One reason they did an investigation was because Singh's father and brother disappeared from their home in 2007. They believe that the same people were behind this as they were for Singh's death. After Singh's father and brother disappeared, Singh moved to Janakpur and started her job at the daily newspaper and the local FM station. She wrote an article in 2008, where she stated, "The Maoists have not returned the seized land in Siraha district even three months after Maoist chairman and Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal directed his party cadres to do so. Some 1,200 bigahas of land captured during the People's War is still under Maoist control." This was written five days before Singh was murdered. The investigation ended and the result came to be that the killers of Singh were after the family land that Singh had the title to. A life sentence was handed down to the ring leader. Umesh Yadav, also known as Swamiji, who was arrested by police was convicted of being the mastermind of the killing. Yadav got life imprisonment by the District Court, Dhanusa in April 2015. Uma's sister-in-law Lalita Devi Singh and Nemwal Paswan are in the jail already for the same crime.
