Two 13-year-old girls found in well, police recover suicide note
The bodies of two minor girls who had reportedly gone missing were found in a well in Karnataka’s Kolar district, police said on Sunday.
Both deceased were Class 7 students of the Government Higher Primary School in Yalachepalli village of Mulbagal town. The girls, both aged 13, went missing on Thursday while playing in front of one of their houses, according to police.
On Saturday morning, a few villagers found the bodies of the girls floating in a well located about two kilometers away from the town and alerted the police, a senior police officer said. Later, a suicide note was recovered from one of the deceased, stating that she was ending her life and wanted her family to live happily.
While the parents of the two children have alleged sexual assault and murder, the post-mortem report ruled out any signs of sexual assault or murder, confirming there were no external injuries on their bodies, the officer added.
The Mulbagal Rural Police have registered a case of unnatural death. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the two girls left their homes with the intention to end their lives and jumped into the well, leading to drowning. Further investigation is underway, police said.
