The news always seems to be full of tragedy these days, but this one really upset me:
Quote:
Student killed herself after rape
Harriet McCormick was about to begin a language degree
A 20-year-old woman who killed herself nine months after she was raped blamed herself for the attack, an inquest has heard.
Harriet McCormick was about to start university when she jumped from a footbridge over the M4 motorway.
Miss McCormick, of Radyr, Cardiff, had twice before tried to kill herself after the attack during a night out.
The coroner said she died as a "direct consequence" of the rape and it was "an extraordinarily sad story".

I missed the story the first time (when it actually happened back in August), so it's the first time I heard about this horrible story. The perpetrator is still at large. I'm not normally a vengeful person, but if they ever catch whoever did this, I hope he gets what he deserves.
I know this is general discussion and I'm supposed to have a question for everyone to discuss, but at the moment I'm just angry... I'm sure I'll have something when I've cooled down in a bit.
