A young couple has been found dead in a double suicide as indications point to a pregnancy she was carrying as the cause of their action.

14-year-old Irina Korovina and Anatoly Maslov, 22 were found with their hands wrapped around each other on a tree near the Russian town of Tver.

The couple didn’t leave a suicide note to explain their actions but investigations have revealed that the girl’s parents tried to get her to abort the 3-month-old pregnancy.
