Woman banned from sea after 50 suicide attempts

A woman has received an Asbo banning her from going into the sea around the British coastline after trying to drown herself more than 50 times.

Amy Beth Dallamura's suicide attempts over the past five years have cost emergency services up to £1million.

The 44-year-old former golf professional has tried to kill herself by jumping off piers and jetties and wading into the ocean.

Police, lifeboats, coastguards and the RAF's air and sea rescue helicopters have all been involved in rescuing her.

A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: "Meetings have been held to assess Miss Dallamura's mental state but experts have been satisfied she suffers from no mental illness.

"We took the step of applying for an Asbo because ... we thought what she was doing was anti-social. It was causing the public who witnessed what she did distress."
