There was a TV programme on this only a few months ago and I seem to
remember the main reason given was that educated women were being brought over by their families for an arranged marriage with an out of work uneducated layabout husband which caused friction, when the "man" of the family is the head but the woman in the only one with any brains. Distress in the woman being the cause who can't see any other way out of a bad situation. Indeed. They have no local support network, and probably know no-one outside the family. They've probably never heard of the Samaritans, and couldn't return to their family back home as that would lose too much face. And they probably have no access to funds or passports either. This picqued my interest. But I find the local paper reported the previous 3 deaths at Hayes and Harlington as Keith Coutinho, 26, Enzo Belluccia, 35, and Antonio Martinez, 20. It also reported the death of Jason Biggs, 41, at West Drayton and Nigel Fisher, 56, on the tracks. None of those strike me as manifestly likely to speak Urdu and to be stuck in an arranged mariage with an uneducated husband. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |

I wonder if the way that the local papers report these suicides is the factor, rather than the ethnicity of the victims? Didn't something like this happen recently in South Wales? |

Speaking of the 4'th suicide in as many months, John McDonnell MP H&H stated "We need to get everyone around table and examine all possible measures we can take to stop this from happening, because it has got to a point where we can't just stand back." I suppose we can rule out "living in Hayes and Harlington" as a possible cause?

If they're that intelligent they could find out about services that could help them or even just go to the police. You clearly have no idea how trapped these women are in their unfortunate situation. Women trapped in men's bodies, apparently. |

The ones who are locked in a cupboard when their husband leaves the house are at least prevented from throwing themselves under a train. -- Roland Perry |
