• Final words: Broadhurst's facebook farewell |
A BRITISH teacher said goodbye to her two sons on Facebook before leaping to her death in Almeria.
Lita Broadhurst, 48, from Garrucha, was minutes from giving evidence against an ex-partner in a domestic violence court case.
Broadhurst spent 12 hours with an iron bar in one hand and a telephone to the police in the other.
According to her final Facebook post entitled ‘Last Words’ Broadhurst – who also worked in Garrucha – had lived a life of terror.
In the lead up to her death, Broadhurst spent 12 hours with an iron bar in one hand and a telephone to the police in the other.
Despite neighbours calling the police the teacher jumped from a terrace.
Paramedics were unable to resuscitate her.
