Did Man Try to Prompt Suicides for Sexual Kicks??
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian police say they have arrested a man suspected of encouraging people over the Internet to kill themselves for his own sexual pleasure.
In a statement, Austrian police said the man "obviously intended to push other people to commit suicide in order to arouse himself sexually," adding that none of the people he contacted had killed themselves.
In his last Internet conversation, the 34-year-old tried to convince a woman to have sex with him and then kill herself, police said. If she then could not bring herself to commit suicide, the man said he would strangle her and slit her throat.
"He gave tips on hanging and kept asking to be at the suicide," police said Tuesday.
The man was arrested at his computer. When asked about his motive, he said he wanted to see how far he could go, police said.
