Kasaragod :
A 15-year-old girl who went missing in this district nearly three weeks ago was found dead along with a 42-year-old man in a village here on Sunday, police said.
The girl from Paivalike village had gone missing on February 11, and an investigation had been underway since then to trace her, they said.
Her parents had raised allegations against the man, identified as Pradeep, their neighbour, who had also gone missing around the same time.
The mobile phones of both were switched off.
This morning, a 52-member police team, along with local residents, conducted an extensive search.
Eventually, the two were found hanging from a tree in an area close to the girl's house.
Her parents had filed a missing persons complaint with the police in Kumabala on February 12.
Since both the girl and the neighbour had been missing, an investigation was ongoing, including the use of drones.

NDTV in partnership with UBER is launching a sustained campaign 'Roshan Dilli' to try and raise safety standards in India's capital, New Delhi.
Our focus is to try and improve lighting in public spaces in the city. Lighting is a key factor in shaping women's perceptions of safety
The initiative will provide a platform for all stakeholders to discuss our goal of improving safety standards, to start a conversation about safety of women in the country
It will also highlight various interventions and solutions that help to make women safe and put the spotlight on what more can be done.
The campaign will accentuate the need for Safety to be a shared responsibility
The need for gender sensitization and how law enforcement and civil society through checks and education can try and make women safer
We hope you will join us and help make New Delhi a safer city for women.
