‘She said she loved her teacher’

Painful goodbye: Muniandy watching over Vasantha Piriya at their house in Nibong Tebal.

NIBONG TEBAL: R. Muniandy could only scream in anguish when he saw his 14-year-old daughter unconscious, with a shawl around her neck, tied to some piping.

“I think the whole kampung heard me screaming,” said the former cook, recounting the horrible moment when he found M. Vasantha Piriya hanging in her room.
