Friends weep for bridge jump girls

Oct 5 2009

Grieving girls at a residential school wept after two of their friends jumped from a bridge in an apparent suicide pact.

The girls, aged 14 and 15, leapt more than 100ft from the Erskine Bridge, near Glasgow - hours after spending a "happy" weekend with relatives.

They were reportedly holding hands as they plunged into the River Clyde at the notorious suicide spot.
