A Chisinau man, 40, attempted suicide by gunshot after his affair with a 25-year-old woman turned sour. According to Chisinau Emergency Service accounts, the man came to his girlfriend's home on Miorita Street to make up with her after a fight, but the woman refused him. Unable to bear the thought that their 4-year relationship might end there, the man decided to commit suicide right before her eyes and shot himself in the right temple. Fortunately the bullet didn't touch the brain, leaving the man alive and the woman scared. Another man, 42, being drunk, decided to commit suicide by slashing his abdomen and neck, possibly for the same reason. None of the cuts were too deep to affect major blood vessels.
