Police stop woman's suicide leap at hospital
2008/6/30 16:53

  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.
