Two schoolgirls who were reported missing on Wednesday, were found dead with multiple injuries on their bodies close to the railway track near Vaiyampatti in the district on Thursday.
The Government Railway Police probing the case believe that A. Radhidevi and V. Selvi had ended their life as a ‘suicide note’ was reportedly recovered at the spot. The death of the girls, both aged 14 and Class 10 students of a government high school, shocked the parents and the villagers who blocked the road, triggering tension at Vaiyampatti all through the day.
Suicide note
