Swedish woman dies in game of Russian roulette

Swedish woman dies in game of Russian roulette

A Swedish woman has died after playing what appeared to be a game of Russian roulette in western Sweden. The 23-year-old man who provided the weapon was charged for manslaughter on Thursday.

The incident occurred in mid-March in an apartment in Flatås, Gothenburg, where emergency service workers found the 48-year-old woman seriously injured.

The 23-year-old man is believed to have brought out a gun during an evening of drinking, loaded it with one live round, put it against his head and pulled the trigger.

"He did it to himself. Then he put the weapon on the table," explained the man's lawyer Karl Sjölander.

The woman then put the gun to her head, pulled the trigger, and shot herself in the head. She died of her injuries later in hospital.

The ones I saw weren't stupid, just tired and used up.

The guy was toasted and clearly didn't give a shit. I had just turned 20, but had already seen enough people shot, in the head and elsewhere, so I split. I have no idea how it ended for that dude.

"Yes, there is only one bullet in the gun. You first ... " BANG "... oh, let me look at that, whoops, there were 6. Let me fix that error and take out the other 5 ..."

Or ...

"No, officer, we were playing Russian Roulette." (but I didn't mention to the cops that I forgot to unload the other 5 bullets before handing it to her ...)

Like what the Manson family did to their "friend" Zero.

Except they didn't bother taking the other bullets out of the gun even though they thought to wipe the gun and holster down.
