    The wife of a Pakistani man shot and killed by a US official has committed suicide by eating rat poison, explaining before she died that she was driven to act by fears the American would be freed without trial, a doctor said.

    The US has demanded Pakistani authorities release the American, saying he shot and killed two armed men in self-defence when they attempted to rob him as he drove his car in the eastern city of Lahore. He was arrested on January 27, and the US has said he has diplomatic immunity and is being illegally detained.

    This doesn't even make any sense. She felt the need to commit suicide because of something that MIGHT happen? Even if she felt this would be a heinous thing to happen and she had to commit suicide (how this helps, I have no idea), why not wait to see if he was actually freed? It's not like her suicide is going to change the outcome of that.

    Seems like at least one person in this chain of events overreacted.
