A deeply distressing incident unfolded in Kilinochchi, where two 17-year-old female students were discovered hanging in the kitchen of a house in Periyaparanthan. The friends had taken their own lives in what appears to be a suicide pact. As the police investigated the scene, they found a letter penned by the two teenagers before their tragic decision. The letter revealed their feelings of despair and their voluntary choice to end their lives.
Law enforcement officials expressed a poignant message, emphasizing that suicide is not the solution to life’s problems. They highlighted the presence of counseling services available nationwide, urging those in distress to seek help. Support organizations such as the Sumithrayo Institute and various helpline numbers, including 0112696666 and 0112692909, are accessible resources for individuals struggling with emotional challenges. The community mourns the loss of these young lives, underscoring the importance of mental health support and awareness.
