Man Fined in Failed Suicide

Feb. 27, 2010

A court ruled that a Russian man must pay more than 100,000 rubles ($3,300) for medical bills and damages to the parents of a girl he hit when he jumped from a window in a suicide attempt.

The 7-year-old girl was hospitalized for months after the man fell on her when he jumped from a ninth-story apartment during an argument that he was having with his ex-wife, a court in Omsk heard, Interfax reported Thursday.
