Man fails to kill himself
A man who was too scared to commit suicide instead took out a contract on his own life - but the two men who were paid to do the job failed in their attempt to kill him, police say.
The man, 30, knew the two young men and paid them $5000 each to kill him. Police said he told the men, both 18, he wanted to kill himself but feared he would botch the job. His plan was to take sleeping tablets, then if he was still alive 10 minutes later his paid assistants were to beat him to death with an iron bar.
