‘Regan was such a loving, selfless and beautiful soul’
In the early hours of July 5, 2019 Shannon Tierney received a phone call that would shatter the lives of her and her family forever. Her ‘beautiful’ and ‘selfless’ older sister Regan had been ‘killed’ at the hands of her partner in their former Salford home.
An inquest into Daniel Patten’s death in 2022 heard the 31-year-old stabbed Regan to death at the home they once shared in Walkden before killing himself after being left "destroyed" by their break-up. At a pre-inquest review at Bolton Coroner's Court in May last year, a representative for Regan's family said they had 'immense frustration' at the delays which have plagued her inquest. Area coroner Peter Sigee apologised to the family, citing a lack of court resources as the reason for the wait.
“The only way to describe it is that my heart had been ripped out, like my soul had completely gone. She was my best friend in everything. There’s just a piece of my heart that will never be repaired due to losing her.” “We have a little corner in the back garden with a headstone for her and we put flowers down, we also light a remembrance candle and just share stories and show photos.
“It’s been very anxious waiting.We Haven’t been able to grieve due to meetings and then pre inquest after pre inquest, you start to heal a little bit then the wounds are reopened. I feel like the closure and grief will fully come once the inquest is over,” she said.
