SABDEN mother, Mrs Christine Barrott, told an inquest she did not believe her son had taken his own life in Hong Kong. "In my heart I just


think he has gone too far in a cry for help", she


said. "I can't deny he has


done it before, but I do not think he would have hurt me like this, because he knew what I was going through with his dad." Mrs Barrott, of Clitheroe

in March 2000. She said they had some

said the pills could have been fatal in their own right, but their effects would have been exacerbat­ ed by the alcohol. Mrs Singleton said she
