"with duct tape around their ankles they walked into the water?"

The article says it was taped "loosely," which could allow for some movement. However, I'm not sure why two women contemplating suicide would do such a thing; what's the point of it?

Maybe one ankle to the other sister’s ankle, like in a 3-legged race.

Why not apply to Canada for asylum if denied it here?

Might have been a three-legged race gone bad.
