Police find 11 bodies in a village home in mysterious circumstances

Описание: (1 Jul 2018) Police in India's capital said they found 11 bodies in a home in mysterious circumstances on Sunday, 10 of them blindfolded and hanging from the roof.
The victims belonged to the same family and most had lived in one home in Burari village in the northern part of New Delhi, said police officer Vineet Kumar.
Police are investigating whether the victims - four men, three women and four girls - died by suicide or were killed, Kumar said, adding that no suicide note was found.
There were no bullet marks on the bodies of the victims, and there was no sign of forced entry into the house, he said.
Ten bodies, blindfolded by cotton and pieces of cloth, were found hanging from an iron grill used as a ventilator in the home's courtyard, while the body of a 70-year-old woman was lying on the floor of the house, said a police official who spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with department policy.
The family had been living in the house for more than two decades, the Hindustan Times newspaper reported.
It said the house belonged to a businessman who ran a plywood shop and dairy.
The newspaper said that at around 8 a.m. Sunday (0230 GMT), a neighbour with whom the businessman used to go for morning walks went to see him and found the door of the house open and the 10 people, including the businessman, hanging.
He raised the alarm and people called the police.
Kumar told the reporters at scene that they are "yet to reach any conclusion whatsoever".
