Human beings can be animals at times.A group of men, including at least two police officers, raped and killed two teenage sisters in rural India then hung their bodies from a mango tree.

Villagers found the girls' bodies hanging from the tree Wednesday morning, hours after they disappeared from fields near their home. The girls, who were 14 and 15, had gone into the fields because there was no toilet in their home.

Hundreds of angry villagers stayed next to the tree for the rest of Wednesday, silently protesting alleged police inaction in the case. Indian TV footage showed the villagers sitting under the girls' bodies as they swung in the wind, and preventing authorities from taking them down from the tree until the suspects were arrested.

Authorities in northern India have arrested four men, including two police officers, suspected of gang-raping and hanging the teenagers.

Autopsies indeed  confirmed the girls had been gang-raped and strangled before being hanged.
