A 26-year-old Saudi girl died after plunging into an uncovered manhole inside her family’s farm in the Gulf Kingdom, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
Police and civil defence men joined hands to quickly pluck the girl out, but she was already dead, they said.
“Police are investigating the incident to determine whether criminal act is involved,” the Arabic language daily ‘Sabq’ said in a report from the southern Najran province.
