June 24, 2010 20:08 IST

In yet another suspected case of honour killing, highly decomposed bodies of two teenaged lovers were on Thursday found hanging in an abandoned house on Rattia road in Fatehabad district.

The boy and the girl, who have not been identified yet, were found hanging from the hook of a ceiling fan, said the police.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Shiv Charan said the angle of honour killing could not be ruled out as both were found hanging from the same hook and there was a possibility that their bodies were hanged after murdering them.

The house where the bodies of these youngsters were found had been locked up for a long time.

The DSP said the police suspect that the lovers either committed suicide together or were murdered and their bodies hanged.

A forensic team was probing the case, said the police.
