Regan Tierney was killed by her ex-partner Daniel Patten at her Salford house in 2019
A 'wonderful' young mum used Facebook to announce she was in a new relationship just hours before she was killed by her ex in a tragic murder-suicide, an inquest has heard.
"We weren't just sisters, we were best friends," she said. Speaking of their childhood, she said the sisters 'didn't have it easy,' so they depended on each other and 'always had each other's backs'. She added that Daniel became 'nasty' after drinking, and that this culminated in an incident just before her niece's first birthday, she told the court, when he 'beat' Regan while the couple were at a party.
Patten received a three year suspended sentence. But after this was spent, Shannon said he inflicted 'a lot of mental abuse' on Regan, including harassing her through text messages and wanting to know where she was at all times. Shannon said Patten continued to 'constantly harass' Regan over text, telling her 'he would kill himself', and turning up at her house.
