Bodies of 2 girls found hanging from tree
Bodies of two adolescent girls were found hanging from a tree in a remote village in Rangamati yesterday.
Police could not immediately say whether they committed suicide or were murdered.
The dead, Moina Akthar and Nur Banu, were class-VII students at a local school and were neighbours. They hailed from Chailyatoli under Bhashanya Adam union of Longodu upazila in the district.
Police and locals said the girls returned home from schools yesterday afternoon and went out leaving their books home.
Later, their bodies were found hanging from the tree, some 25 yards off their homes, with their own scarves, they said.
Moina's 10-year-old brother Masud was the first to see the bodies. He informed locals and police about the incident.
Sheikh Farid, member of ward-7 of Bhashanya Adam Union Parishad, said it seemed the girls committed suicide but could not tell why they would do that.
Moina's father Hazrat Ali said he had no idea why the girls, who used to be so playful and happy, would take their own lives.
Sub-Inspector Jafar Ahmed of Longodu Police Station said he visited the scene yesterday evening and could not immediately say whether the girls committed suicide or were murdered.
