SARBHANG

By Lam Chencho

in THIMPHU:

A woman committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree in Sarpang on December 3.

The Sarpang police was informed of the incident by the gup of Dekiling Geog, Gom­chen, and the detailed inves­tigation revealed that Purni Maya had hung herself nfrom a mongo tree by using a nylon rope. No external injuries were found on her body.

While questioning the hus­band of the deceased, Rangala Ghimirey, he told the police that his wife had been very nor­mal and was working the whole day in their paddy field. He said that towards the evening she had complained of a headache.

At around 8 pm they had gone to bed. However, that night she went twice to the toilet saying that she had a stomach disor­der.

The second time she went to the toilet was at around 2 am and the husband did not know whether she had come back or not, as he had fallen asleep. It was only in the morning at around 6 am that he realised his wife was not in bed.

He thought she might have gone to the toilet, as the light in the toilet was still on, and called her, but there were no response. She was nowhere to be found in the house, so he called his son, who was sleeping in the paddy field, and checked if she had gone there, but she was not there either. After that he started searching for her in the nearby areas and at around 7 am, he found her hanging from a tree. She was already dead by then.

Foul play has been ruled out by the police. The body of deceased was handed over to Rangala Ghimirey in the presence of Assistant Clinical Officer, Sarpang Hospital and Dekiling gup after comple­tion of all the formalities.
