Four questioned in Italy after woman's suicide over sex video

15 September 2016 Europe

Four men are being questioned in Italy in connection with the suicide of a woman who battled for months to have a viral video that showed her having sex removed from the internet.

The 31-year-old, identified as Tiziana, sent the video to her ex-boyfriend and three others, who put it online.

More than a million people watched it, and she became the subject of jokes and abuse.

Tiziana killed herself in her aunt's home in Mugnano near Naples on Tuesday.
