An Indian court has freed three men arrested earlier this year on suspicion of raping and murdering two girls found hanged outside their village.
Judge Anil Kumar Sharma ordered the men’s release on Thursday after India’s Central Bureau of Investigation said it did not have enough evidence to prosecute them.
Their release came days after two police officers held on suspicion of involvement in the case were freed on the same grounds, the AFP news agency reported.
The two cousins, aged 12 and 14, were found hanging from a tree in an impoverished village in northern Uttar Pradesh state in May.
