Boyfriend killed himself after false rumours he was involved in his girlfriend's death
Friends of a tragic young couple who killed themselves just days apart have spoken of how cruel rumours about his girlfriend's death drove him to suicide.
The inquest heard that Jenny, who was just 36 at the time of her death, had ongoing financial worries and had previously taken an overdose following the breakdown of her marriage to the father of her children. Three days after finding Jenny dead on January 11 Craig, a skilled gardener, text a friend saying "I've had enough but I love you all".
One of Craig's best friends told LancsLive: "If you were to ask me why Craig did what he did I'd say it's because of the disgusting allegations that were made on social media after Jenny died. He was being blamed for what happened to her but all of their friends know that Craig would never have hurt Jenny.
"I just hope that those people who made those comments, and they know who they are, realise the consequences of their actions," he said. "All of Craig's family have been dignified in not responding but someone had to speak out so that people know why Craig did what he did."
