Just when you hoped the La Manga incident had died down for now, the Sun reports today that the girl who has accused Dickov of rape has tried to kill herself.

Here's the story in full...

THE woman accusing soccer star Paul Dickov of rape has survived a suicide attempt, it was reported last night.

Ruth Lourenco, 36, was rushed to hospital after taking a massive cocktail of drugs.

Doctors said she took 22 diazepam sedatives, three glass phials of denubil, 1,000mg of the cold cure cortafriol, and noctamid sleeping drops.

Ruth was found collapsed after the overdose in her room at the Montynar Hotel in Nazaron, Spain. She slipped into a coma and was unconscious for eight hours, it is claimed. Doctors treating her in Cartagena feared she would die or at least suffer brain damage.

But after eight hours of treatment she regained consciousness.
And at 9.26pm last Wednesday, 15 hours after she was admitted, Malawi-born Ruth was discharged.

She is believed to have suffered no long-term ill-effects.

One medic is reported to have said: “Half the number of diazepam tablets this lady took would have been enough to kill her — without all the other things she took.”

Ruth, who lives in Germany, claims she was raped by Leicester City striker Paul Dickov while team mate Keith Gillespie pinned her against a wall.

Another player, Frank Sinclair, is alleged to have attacked Ruth’s two pals at a hotel in Le Manga last month.

The men deny all allegations and are on bail.

Ruth and her friends, Kenyans Beatrice Wanjiro, 31, and Martha Wilbert, 37, are believed to be constantly on the move between hotels.
