A special constable hanged herself in uniform at her home in North Wales, reported Daily Mail on Feb. 5.
Tammy Paterson, 24, apparently torn between her husband of three years and her lover, killed herself after sending the same text message to her husband and tutor lover, which said: ‘I am going to die, sorry.’
The mother of a 3-year-old daughter had just qualified as a special constable, and received her uniform.
Paterson first met her course tutor John Lewis, 36, while studying public service course at college.
They got closer when she confided in him about her troubled marriage, and later she asked him to date.
Lewis said he initially declined due to their teacher-student relationship, but the romance blossomed later.
"Things happened which should not have. We were both vulnerable at the time," he said.
At the time of her death, she was pregnant with his baby, and he said she was happy, and wanted to have a future with him. But the following day, she changed her mind and decided on the termination of their relationship to pursue her career.
Three days before the scheduled abortion, she sent the message informing her imminent death.
Mr. Lewis and her brother scurried to her house in North Wales, but only too late.
She was found hanging in her bathroom, wearing her special constable's uniform.
It turned out she left a text message to her husband, saying “I still love you” just a few days before her death.
The coroner, who recorded a verdict of suicide, referred her death as 'a waste of a young life'.
He said, the Lithuania-born woman had a traumatic childhood, since her step father had been murdered in her homeland.
He described her as 'quite a troubled soul'.
