这名女子名叫埃米•贝丝•达拉缪若，现年44岁，生活在威尔士西部的阿伯里斯特威斯镇。英国《每日邮报》报道，过去5年里，达拉缪若曾尝试用各种方法在港口、码头以及防波堤等处投海自杀，但均未如愿。 1 ?0 H; t' e5 q3 q, N% b/ j$ M2 k& c2 W- M
50余次的自杀尝试让政府机构头痛不已，仅用于支付紧急救援的费用就高达100万英镑(约合200万美元)。 * f2 K+ U, c, S7 |' j6 i

参与救援行动的有警察、海岸警卫队、空军和海军，他们动用了救生艇和救援直升机等设备。 $ g, A Z0 Q- u4 T# H8 M" ~4 ^2 Z2 j9 {+ @" M
2003年1月，驻扎在阿伯里斯特威斯镇的警察西蒙•图德，还因为救助达拉缪若的英勇行为获得奖励。那次，他游到距离岸边270多米的海中才找到达拉缪若。为营救达拉缪若，他甚至解开了系在身上的安全绳索。 4 b t `( p1 | _2 a& z2 l" {

但达拉缪若还是我行我素。仅在6月，她就在5天内4次违反这一禁令。 ; _+ P) ]1 C. P. T 2 L5 D! i5 O. Q* Z; Y5 W* |; |- ~ 6月21日，达拉缪若把自己吊上一海滨悬崖，试图从那里投海自杀；23日，达拉缪若又一次投海。救援人员把她从海中救出后，又把她紧急空运到医院救治。 ! ^8 z) q: H! j- a9 D' V+ h4 `$ V9 @3 r8 `& t" x" R5 Y
可仅过了两天，达拉缪若又打电话给警方，威胁说她要在海里自杀。不久后，警方在海边的岩石上找到了她。当时她体温很低。 $ y$ W! V% a8 E C+ d- C: e' i& ? u% f, ]- N3 p! n3 `( j% H
由于达拉缪若屡次违反反社会行为令，相关政府部门无奈在阿伯里斯特威斯地方法院对她提起诉讼，并希望对她作出更多限制。达拉缪若于上周出庭。 $ e1 W7 t% P2 T2 m . `( o& ^8 b Y3 e5 O 检察官克里斯•詹姆斯在听证会上说：“她显然是在和警方玩精心设计好的猫鼠游戏。有确凿证据证明，她自杀前总是设法让别人知道。” ) L* F: _' {' x, O( T" x

警方和海岸警卫队认为，达拉缪若的自杀行为有可能是她想以此获得同情和帮助，但他们不会再对她实施救助。（来源：新闻晨报）; Z* r% U$ [. H! K6 w- t5 ^
