The Judiciary Police (PJ) yesterday announced a suspected suicide case in which a 16-year-old schoolgirl and a 35-year-old man, both locals, were found lying dead in a guestroom of an guesthouse in San Kio district yesterday morning, with two woks of charcoal that had burnt out next to them.

The bodies were discovered after the schoolgirl’s parents went to a police station with their daughter’s suicide note yesterday morning, to report their daughter missing.

While the police revealed that the schoolgirl was enrolled in a school in the peninsula’s northern district, they said that they were still investigating her relationship with the male victim. However, Choi Nong Chi Tai School confirmed to the media last night that the girl was a pupil and the man a teacher at the school.
