Girl who drove classmate to suicide accused of criminal charge by bereaved father

Saturday, 21 June 2008

KITAKYUSHU -- The father of a high school girl, who committed suicide after a classmate posted a string of bullying messages on the Internet, has filed a criminal complaint against the girl, accusing her of insulting his daughter. The 16-year-old, first-year student at the private Mihagino Girls' High School in Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu, was found hanged to death at her home on May 29, according to police. Her suicide note said, "(The classmate) posted messages on the Internet saying, 'Everyone hates you.'" Her father accuses the classmate of posting other messages saying, "Die now. I'll be at your funeral," and "You should kill yourself by cutting your arteries." "I don't think the classmate is the only student involved in the incident," he said. "The school's investigation has limits, but I hope the details of the incident will be clarified through a police investigation."
