Not a Suicide
She was twenty-eight years old
when she threw herself off a bridge
onto the A90 in Dundee
and was struck by multiple vehicles
Not a suicide
the last chance to escape
after running up there
chased by her husband of two years
who tried to grab her hands.
Not a suicide
abused and beaten
for the last eighteen months
in private
in public
strangled
dragged by the hair
shouted at and punched.
Not a suicide
she would cower and stay silent
made to walk home
after he tried to run her over
Not a suicide
she was terrified of him
but couldn't leave
because he'd kill himself
she messaged her sister
what could she do?
Not a suicide
he was convicted
'culpable homicide' the judge said
but he got just eight years
(to serve at least three)
and three years post-release probation.
Not a suicide
she should have killed him
and saved the two young boys
he raped the following year.
but you need to know
it was Not a suicide
