XUHUI District police stopped a suicide attempt by a Hong Kong woman
yesterday at Zhongshan Hospital after she had a dispute with the alleged second
wife of her husband, Xinhuanet.com reported. The woman identified as
Wu, 49, was stopped from jumping out a hospital window after the other woman
refused to show police her ID card. Wu's husband surnamed Huang is
being treated for liver cancer at Zhongshan Hospital. He allegedly married his
mistress surnamed Yu in 1994 and has a 14-year-old child with the woman, the
report said. Wu became suspicious of her husband's loyalty in 2004.
Last year, Huang asked for a divorce and promised Wu three properties as well as
1 million yuan in compensation. ``I refused because he is worth
nearly 100 million yuan,'' Wu told the Website. "The man became disloyal to me
after we became wealthy. I hired detectives to look into the case and found he
married Yu with a fake ID card in 1994 in Sanya, Hainan Province." Wu
lost a bigamy lawsuit against her husband in June 2007. ``Yu did not
appear in court. I did not have her ID card so it was hard for me to prove my
husband had ever committed the crime,'' the report cited Wu as
saying. In a follow up investigation, Wu found her husband suffered
from liver cancer and was being treated at Zhongshan Hospital. She
asked four friends to ``catch the adulterers in the act,'' the report
said. They broke into Huang's ward at 8am yesterday. One friend
recorded the events with a digital camera, the report said. According
to witnesses, Yu was taking care of Huang when Wu burst into the room. A fight
broke out and police were called to mediate. When Yu turned down Wu's demand to
show her ID card, Wu lost control, dashed towards the window and tried to commit
suicide, the report said. Officers stopped her. They took Wu and her
four friends to a police station for further investigation, according to the
report. |
