Two girls who were sports trainees staying at a hostel were found dead in a room in Kollam on Thursday (January 15, 2026), police said.
According to police, one of the two girls was an athletics trainee studying in Plus Two, while the other girl was a kabaddi player and a Class 10 student.
The incident came to light around 5 a.m. when fellow hostel inmates noticed that the duo had not reported for the morning training session.
When repeated knocks on the door went unanswered, hostel authorities broke open the door and found both girls dead in the room, police said.
Police said one girl was staying in a different room but had spent the night on Wednesday (January 14, 2026) in the room of the another deceased girl. Both were seen by other hostel inmates early in the morning, police added.
