BRITAIN: Magistrates in Britain have tried to ban a woman from committing suicide after police complained about her repeated bungled efforts to take her own life.
Kim Sutton (23) has been barred from rivers, multistorey car parks, train tracks and bridges following a series of incidents in the city of Bath.
Last year police and emergency services were called out three times to pluck her from the River Avon after she pretended to drown.
On another occasion, officers had to cut the woman down from a railway parapet and stopped trains as they carried out the rescue.
Sutton was convicted this week of three public order offences at Bath Magistrates Court and made the subject of a unique anti-social behaviour order (Asbo).
An Avon and Somerset police spokesman said: "The order prevents her from going to any multistorey car park without another adult and for reasons other than to park or collect a car.
"It bans her from going to train tracks, from any river, watercourse or canal in England or Wales and from loitering on bridges."
