A shocking Skype suicide where a young man hanged himself
while online spectators urged him on is being investigated by police in Russia. Sergey Kirilov, 26, from Moscow, had announced
his own death on a social networking site and asked anyone who wanted to see it
to link to him on Skype.
Astonished police say instead of trying to stop him, many
urged him on, saying a 'real man' would have killed himself more quickly.One
even told him: 'Come on, are you ready yet? Go on - do it.'
And another urged: 'If a man says he's going to do
something, he needs to do it.'
Moscow police are now trying to trace all the people who
watched Mr Kirilov's suicide through their internet service providers.
Spokesman Leonti Zubarev said: 'It is beyond belief that
people could watch this as a form of entertainment.
'We will be investigating everyone who watched this
incident, especially those who urged him to carry it out who may be guilty of
negligent homicide.'
