Frogmen found the bodies of the twin girls from Talmaza village of Stefan Voda district who drowned in the Nistru River, IPN reports.
According to the Civil Protection and Emergencies Service, rescuers from Chisinau came to lend to hand to the local rescuers. The bodies were recovered in the evening of June 24, at about 7pm.
Deputy mayor of Talmaza Anton Sarghi has told IPN that the local authorities will contribute financially to the organization of the funeral as the girls come from a socially deprived family.
Villagers said the girls’ mother is an alcoholic, while their father died. The sisters returned from a boarding school a week ago. When the tragedy happened, the girls lived at the place of a cousin of theirs. When the relatives informed the mother about what happened, she seemed indifferent and then was seen drunk again.
The twin sisters aged 15 drowned in the Nistru in the afternoon of June 23.
