I see it perhaps as a moment of final closure and by sending the message they were committing to what they were doing.I will admit it is strange that your landlady is the last person on your mind as you end your life. It is very bizarre.
It was the content of the text that was significant. It confirmed that they weren't coming back, and combined with the fact that they had left all their possessions behind it seems to be a clear message.I will admit it is strange that your landlady is the last person on your mind as you end your life. It is very bizarre.
True.We also have no idea what that message said. It’s hard to imply tone or purpose when we don’t even know what words were used
These are the most used methods of suicide, split between male and female. Take into consideration that these stats are from a country where gun ownership hovers around 44%.New to the case and catching up.
I think the biggest thing I’m struggling to understand is suicide by drowning is so rare & that 2 people settled on that method. Obviously I say this as someone who was not in their situation and therefore no insight into their perhaps desperation.
In Scotland, there are an average of 29 water suicides a year. That's roughly one every week and a half.These are the most used methods of suicide, split between male and female. Take into consideration that these stats are from a country where gun ownership hovers around 44%.
When removing guns from the equation, suicide by drowning is still way down on the list, percentage-wise.
The most plausible explanation seems to be that they took their own lives voluntarily, but I still struggle to understand how they could have entered the freezing water and gone ahead without changing their minds.

As someone afraid of going up a ladder, it makes perfect sense to me.The most plausible explanation seems to be that they took their own lives voluntarily, but I still struggle to understand how they could have entered the freezing water and gone ahead without changing their minds.

It would have been much quicker and immediate to jump off the bridge. Perhaps in the bag seen in the last photo they had pills, drugs and/or alcohol to avoid feeling the freezing water.
It's possible to be coerced into sending a messageThat third party potentially would need to know the code to unlock phone if locked though.
Do we know they were texting the landlord so as not to arouse suspicion?But the third party would need to know they were renting and who the landlord was (I suppose Im presuming they would have the landlord in as a name rather than landlord) and why, if they were texting the landlord so as not to arouse suspicion, would they not text the family ?
Potentially. Being forced to handover an unlocked phone is also a possibility.That third party potentially would need to know the code to unlock phone if locked though.
They will have the phone records, with the pings between phone masts to a fairly accurate area, as well as the pings when text was sent if sent via traditional text not WhatsApp/iMessage which is encrypted message wise, although they would still show be able to see who the message was to with either of those. So they wouldn't need to see on CCTV to confirm one of the sisters at the Bridge/Water location sent the message.The police have said that the message they sent to their landlady was sent on or near the bridge, the very one they have the sisters on CCTV walking over and heading onto the dirt path. I would assume they could probably make out the action of one of them using the phone to send the message.
It is quite similar in some ways, copy cat suicide?Her bag and mobile phone were later found near a bridge, and her disappearance was reported by her landlord.
She went missing in Budapest in December 2008, after being caught on CCTV walking near the River Danube in the early hours of the morning

It's also a method which doesn't require any means or equipment but the water.In Scotland, there are an average of 29 water suicides a year. That's roughly one every week and a half.
