Girl Forces Boyfriend To Commit Suicide To Gain Attention 

Massachusetts: A 20-year-old girl forced her boyfriend to commit suicide in order to gain sympathy and attention from her friends.

The girl, Michelle Carter, sent repeated text messages to Conrad Roy urging him to commit suicide. The messages also reveal that Roy also tried to back off from the attempt but Carter egged him on. Roy killed himself in 2014 by inhaling carbon monoxide in his car. Initially, Roy climbed off the car after he was scared for his life but his girlfriend forced him to go back, the text messages revealed.

According to Bristol Assistant District Attorney Maryclare Flynn, the American girl pressurised her boyfriend in text messages to attempt suicide so she could become “the grieving girlfriend”. Later, Carter bragged to her friends that she was the reason behind Roy’s death. Surprisingly, she began to get the attention she craved for.

“All you have to do is turn on the generator and you will be free and happy. People who commit suicide don’t think this much. They just do it. You’d better not be bull****ting me and just pretending. Tonight is the night, it’s now or never,” her text messages read. However, the counsel for Carter argued that Roy’s killing was a case of suicide instead of homicide. The lawyer said that it was Roy’s choice to take his life during those days when Carter was talking to him, adding that she was mentally unstable and was taking antidepressants.

Carter has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
