Overview
- Radha and Jiya Singh fell critically ill on December 25 after returning from a nearby shop and both later died in hospital, according to police.
- Investigators reported no suicide note or audio or video evidence and preserved viscera samples for laboratory analysis to determine the cause of death.
- Family members and neighbours said the sisters had been treated for depression and grew increasingly distressed by their dog's month-long illness.
- Police recovered a phenyl container from the sisters’ room after doctors informed relatives that the women had ingested poison.
- Follow-up reports say the German Shepherd, Tony, died a few days later from illness as the police inquiry continues.
