American Man Kills Himself in Taiwan Courtroom After Drug Sentence
 

An American man fatally stabbed himself in the neck in a Taiwan courtroom Thursday during his sentencing for drug possession charges.

Tyrel Martin Marhanka, a 41-year-old longtime resident of Taiwan, is believed to have dismantled a pair of scissors and hidden them in a magazine to bypass the courtroom metal detectors, reports the Taipei Times.

The incident happened moments after the judge sentenced Marhanka to four years in prison for the possession of poppy seeds and other narcotics and growing marijuana, which he said were for his own personal use.

Witnesses reportedly said they heard Marhanka yell, ?I don?t want to live anymore,? before drawing out two sharp metal objects and slashing his neck.

He was rushed to a local hospital, but doctors were unable to revive him.

The court, in Chengu County near the western city of Taichung, issued a statement that read: ?We deeply regret that Tyrel Martin Marhanka killed himself during the sentencing,? according to Agence France-Presse. ?He was cooperative during the investigation and the trial. His attitude was mild and he did not show any signs that he would [kill himself].?

Court officials said they planned to step up security measures and introduce an X-ray machine to scan people before enter the courtroom.

Marhanka is survived by his Taiwanese wife and their two young children.

death news reported!

It was either now or somewhere else along the line... I dont think whites fit well into Taiwanese prisons so i sorta understand his actions :(

i would not even take a aspirin in a place like that :helpme :1orglaugh :Oh crap no drugs not even cough syrup.

Yet another victim of a government's war on drugs.

When will governments figure out that they do not own people.

When we people stop allowing themselves to be owned and fight back...

well alcohol and drugs cause a bulk of the serious crimes.

yes this op obesses much death but so is way of crip

Alcohol is a sedative and makes people stupid (one would assume you are drunk most of the time.)

Other mind expanding drugs governments fear because they make people think and therefore, harder to control with brainwashing propaganda.

You have never been outside of US homie or have a passport. Who are you fucking kidding :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Can you find Taiwan on the map?

Are their prisons that tough? 4 years is a long time but the last thing I'd do is off myself over a 4 year sentence.

he would stand out, in prison thats not a good thing...

eh :(

4 years doesn't sound so bad compared to thailand.

i read somewhere that in thailand you get either death sentence or lifetime for drugs, and they don't tell you exact time of execution right away, it can be weeks, months or even years, they tell you 2hrs before.

torture is accepted over there. :helpme:helpme as looking at the pictures damn it's bad stuff :Oh crap

Well, maybe I'm missing something but now he won't have to serve his sentence.
