Imphal, January 14 2014 :
Barely 24 hours after a girl hung herself to death, her elder brother too killed himself in a similar manner.
Khoirom Ibomcha alias Shamu (26) s/o Rajen of Yai-ripok Bamon Leikai, Thoubal district was found hung to death from a tree at Lilong Leihaokhong Taretlou under Lilong PS this morning.
Ibomcha's family was informed about his death by a team of Lilong police at around 8.30 am.
Ibomcha's younger sister Robita alias Inaobi (18) was found hung to death inside her room at around 9.30 am yesterday.
Robita and Ibomcha had some wranglings before she took the extreme step last morning.
Ibomcha ran a hardware store at his residential gate.
After wrangling with his sister, Ibomcha left home on the pretext of collecting his merchandise but never came back.
However, he had somehow learnt about the death of his sister.
The family and local people were searching for Ibomcha when Lilong police informed them about his death.
Police have retrieved and deposited the corpse at JNIMS morgue.
