KOZHIKODE: The dead bodies of the girl student and the youth found hanging in Balussery were cremated. The funeral rites were completed this afternoon after the post-mortem. Devananda, a class 10 student of Thamarassery Vocational Higher Secondary School, and Vishnulal, a native of Ekarool, were found dead. The deceased Vishnulal was an employee of a petrol pump.

It is said that Devananda and Vishnu were in love. Both of their mother's homes are in Kannadipoyil and this is where they become close. The family did not know about this. Devananda has been missing since the morning of April 19. Devananda's father went to the local leader and told the matter and lodged a complaint with the police. The local leader's son is the one who informed about the relationship between the girl and Vishnulal. Later on, it was found that Vishnulal was missing. The police was able to track the phones of both of them on the first day, but not later.

The bodies of both were found in a vacant house near Vishnu's mother's house. After a foul smell emanated from the house, the locals conducted an inspection and found both of them dead. It was a man who brought both of them home on a bike. He was interrogated based on this information, but he didn't know much about it, except bringing them to the house.
