Woman hangs herself

A Bahraini woman committed a suicide by hanging herself by the fan at her house in the Gulf Kingdom following her separation from her husband, the Bahraini Arabic language daily Alayam reported on Sunday.

The woman, in her 20s, was found dead with her body dangling from the fan by a piece of cloth tied around her neck, the paper said.

“Police are investigating the cause and motives for the woman’s death,” it said. “Relatives said she had been under psychological pressure following her separation from her husband from another Gulf country.”
