The picture shown above is that of a woman being stopped from committing suicide by jumping off the roof of the nine-storey building shown. Unknown to them, the woman, Sheng Fi, had hours earlier smothered her four-year-old nephew just a few hours earlier and thrown his body off the same roof in Southern China. Sheng had a fight with her sister-in-law, the boy's mother, and killed the boy as a result of the fight.
The woman's daughter was brought to the roof of the 100ft tall building to talk her down after which they made the move to grab her before she could jump. Sheng admitted to throwing the boy's body off the same roof. A police spokesman told the local media that she'll be killed by a firing squad for murder.
The incident took place in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province of China. China is highly placed among the list of the countries with the highest suicide rates in the world, appearing ninth in the WHO's list of countries by suicide rate.
