Given that no one was physically present, I doubt that anyone could have physically stopped him, which is obviously what needed to happen. Let's also remember the venue of this chat room - "insults". One does not go there expecting polite and caring conversation regardless of mental states. This is as much a tragedy as anything else, but there's no need to expand on it by jailing or attempting to jail those who witnessed it. If this had happened in the US, any DA that attempted to file charges against the witnesses/chatters would be laughed out of court.

That depends on if people knew it was a real rape or not. If they are witnessing something that they know or think is a real rape, yes they are culpable. The difference in this case is that no one knew it was a real suicide until it was too late.
