SONGKHLA : Robbers killed two girls yesterday by hanging them at their house in Hat Yai district before fleeing with cash and gold jewellery, police said.
The bodies of the victims, identified as Apisa, 12, and her sister Orawan Tasi, 7, were found dangling at the back of the house by neighbours in Ban Koh Mi in tambon Klong Hae. Their hands and legs were bound.
"The girls probably knew the robbers, so they killed them," a police officer said. Police believed at least two robbers raided the house. They took 13,000 baht in cash and two-baht weight gold jewellery. The girls were left alone as their grandfather and his wife went out to tap rubber trees. Their mother was not in the house during the raid.
