    Agree. Are you still on the edge after the ribbing you took?

    Carried out a bit of self harming, but that's it. I think I'm okay now though.

    That

    was exactly the sort of case that sprang to mind as the most likely application. Where someone gets beaten so often they do themself in.

    The other was bullying, but then you'd have to prove the intent was to cause them to kill themself and not just make them feel small.

    I can't see a conviction for bullying to death. There's already laws against harassment/intimidation etc. It'd also be difficult to convict a violent husband imo as where it may drive one woman to suicide, another might just walk out.

    I was thinking maybe just making myself sick, after a nice meal.

    Bit dodgy if you ask me. Said Kavanagh QC.</p>

    Sounds fair enough to me. If someone is driven to an

    extreme such as suicide then the person(s) that drove her to it should be accountable. Difficult to prove something like that I admit but that doesn't mean something shouldn't be done.
