A young girl has allegedly committed suicide by throwing herself out of her window after meeting a young man on the internet who was charged with abetting her suicide, according to the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance.

The girl was reportedly very shy, barely speaking to her parents and rarely ever leaving her room in which she was constantly at the computer.

Investigations revealed that the victim had often expressed thoughts of committing suicide to the accused who responded by saying that he would follow her to death.

Upon asking the accused to meet her under her building, the victim threw herself from her window, putting the 18-year-old man in shock. After calling the police, the accused made several attempts to take his own life as well. He was charged with abetting the girl to commit suicide especially since she was a minor. [GN]
