Warning: This story contains graphic content.

Indian officials have arrested three men, and are searching for two more, in the brutal rape and murder of two teenage cousins in northern India.

The girls, age 14 and 15, were found hanging from a mango tree in the village of Katra in Uttar Pradesh state on Wednesday. An autopsy revealed they had been raped, then strangled. Villagers sat for hours in silent protest under their bodies — one girl was dressed in a flowing green tunic, the other in red — until local authorities made arrests in the case.
