“She has two friends who were visiting her and they told us that they received a message from her explaining that she wanted to put an end to her life because she is in bad mood after her divorce,” a police official said.
“Her parents had gone to be with her after hearing about her situation and left just days before her suicide.”
The incident happened on August 25. Police received a call about the body of the woman.
“We found an SMS in her phone to her ex-husband asking him to come back and threatening to commit suicide if he didn’t,” the official added.

“I completely agree with you. My first thought is she needs a hospital and not her passport taken and pending charges.”

“I would have thought that the last thing someone who has attempted to commit suicide needs is to be told they are being taken to court. If they were depressed before they will be even more depressed when told they face criminal charges. They need help.”
