Walayar girls could have died by suicide, says CBI

The Hindu  

The sexually assaulted two minor sisters of Walayar could have died by suicide, the Central Bureau of Investigation has said. The CBI noted that the “most probable manner of death could be suicide in nature” in the chargesheet that was filed in a Kochi CBI court recently. Police surgeon’s report The CBI quoted the report of a police surgeon in the chargesheet which noted that the “post-mortem findings were consistent with the history of deaths due to hanging.” After “analysing the scene of the crime, inquest photos, post-mortem findings and ancillary reports, the forensic surgeon concluded that the post-mortem findings were consistent with death due to hanging,” it was reported. On the death of the younger girl, the CBI concluded that “death due to hanging by suicidal manner cannot be totally ruled out.” “Even though the girl was only 9 years old, it was not impossible for her to manoeuvre the ligature material around the point of suspension from the rafter and accomplish the act of hanging,” it said. ‘Conclusion difficult’ The CBI quoted a psychological autopsy report, which stated that a “definite conclusion on the manner of death was difficult” in the case.
