A disgusted girlfriend who found child abuse images on her partner’s phone sent a heartbreaking message to a friend before killing herself.<\/p>\n

Lydia Roberts, 21, had been living with her partner Adam Wells, 27, in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester. <\/p>\n

But she discovered pornographic images of children from a Russian website on his spare phone when he left it at home in July 2017.  <\/p>\n

Lydia Roberts, 21, had been living with her partner in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester, when she discovered indecent images of children on his phone<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lydia, who worked as a retail assistant in H&M, had confronted Wells by text to demand answers. <\/p>\n

He had dismissed the images but she wrote: ‘You have problems Adam, it’s over. How can you tell me this isn’t paedophilia?’<\/p>\n

The couple, who had been together for two years, continued to argue and Lydia told Wells how he had ruined her life.<\/p>\n

She initially confronted her partner, Adam Wells, 27, (pictured) by text<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She reported him to the police before then sending a heartbreaking text to one of her friends, Sophie Malik, that read: ‘He’s ruined my life…’I have been living with a paedo.’ <\/p>\n

But Lydia had felt so ‘violated’ and ‘ashamed’ after finding the child abuse images that she hanged herself just hours later.  <\/p>\n

Wells had found Lydia dead at 3.30 in the morning when he returned home from a night out with friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

He subsequently appeared at Manchester magistrates court in July 2018 were he admitted possessing 31 indecent photographs of children and was given a 12-month community order.<\/p>\n

He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offender Register for five years, complete 150 hours of unpaid work and pay a \u00a385 victim surcharge.<\/p>\n

Lydia’s mother Michelle has since spoken out about how she holds Wells fully accountable for her daughter’s death.<\/p>\n

‘To think that all of this has happened because of him but he’s been given a slap on the wrist.<\/p>\n

‘He’s responsible for what she did that night,’ she said speaking to The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michelle and her husband Eric had been on a cruise travelling around Norway at the time when they learned of their youngest daughter’s death.<\/p>\n

The couple, who have eight children, were escorted off the ship and had tried to contact Wells to find out what had happened.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

They had managed to get through but only exchanged a few words.<\/p>\n

Sophie, who had received Lydia’s final text, was the one to tell her parents the whole story.<\/p>\n

Michelle said that at first she could not believe it but later felt some relief that she knew her daughter’s reasoning.<\/p>\n

Coroner Zak Golombeck recorded Lydia’s death as suicide and told the Manchester hearing: ‘I have considered the totality of the evidence and I am able to conclude that Lydia Roberts took her own life and intended to do so. <\/p>\n

‘There is evidence relating to her mental health and the nature of the correspondence taking place on that day between herself and Adam Wells.<\/p>\n

‘She had a history of attempting to take her own life, and also had depression and had been prescribed antidepressants.’<\/p>\n

But the family say that they were unaware of her mental health. <\/p>\n

The inquest also revealed that Wells had subsequently changed his surname to Scott in an attempt to acquire a job. <\/p>\n

The family’s solicitor Sefton Kwasnik says that they still have unanswered questions about Lydia’s death.<\/p>\n

The family wish to see the body camera footage of officers when they first entered Lydia’s flat after her death as well as a report on Adam’s locations tracked using his mobile phone signal.<\/p>\n

They also want the police to track down Lydia’s phone that they claim was never recovered. <\/p>\n
