A man (25), accused of groping a girl at a crowded beach, but who denied the charge, ended up dying after being thoroughly impaled in an attempt at flight from his questioners.
He was taken into custody after one of the girls in question reported him: “He touched my breasts and stuff”.
Whilst police were questioning him over this, after five minutes he became agitated and screamed “I didn’t do it!”, and then leapt out of the second floor window, which was open, whereupon he fell onto the iron railings pictured, now ominously bent, skewering his neck. He was rushed to hospital, but later died of blood loss.
The young ladies who accused him of this, a group of three high school classmates, were playing with a rubber ring in the sea, when, they claim, a man swam up and groped one, then swam off.
The trio then took it upon themselves to search for the culprit, and upon finding a likely suspect after an hour of searching, reported him to police. That suspect was the man in question, who was visiting the beach with his wife and a friend for a spot of relaxation.
There were said to be some 45,000 people on the beach at the time.

I wonder how did they round up a ‘likely’ suspect after searching for an hour? Did they really remember the groper’s traits after the interval of an hour in the middle of 45,000 of other ‘likely’ suspects?
Props to the girls for having the guts to find the guy and get something done about the whole thing.
am i the only one who thought of phoenix wright’s steel samurai’s murder case and the bent metal fence post?
is this what we called “Divine Punishment”?…
Sure, maybe it wasn’t him. But why did he leap out of the second floor? And, out of the 45+k people there, how sure are they that there was no other perv in the area? Maybe he was at the WRONG place at the WRONG time (not to mention jumping into the WORST place ever?)(Also, out of the many possible places to be skewered alive, his neck was “lucky” enought” ouch. Painful way to leave this earth). Maybe he deserved punishment, but this is just BEYOND wrong. In b4 “Man dies because of “groping”?”
Well this sucks either way.
A. It’s just an unusually paranoid, but innocent, guy that freaked out over his reputation being damaged after getting falsely/mistakenly accused of groping. The girls also suffer tremendous emotional trauma for accidentally/intentionally accusing the wrong man and him getting killed over it (even if jumping out the window was his own fault).
B. It’s an unusually paranoid, but guilty, guy that freaked out over his reputation being damaged after getting accused of groping. The girls also suffer tremendous emotional trauma because they’re not quite sure they got the right man, or just because however sure they were of his guilt, or how bad of a decision it was to jump out that window, he still didn’t deserve to die.
And of course, both parties families go through plenty of grief as well I’m sure.
