Colin Smelt, from North London, blasted himself in the chest with his police issue Glock pistol after finding out his girlfriend slept with his colleague. Reports revealed that Smelt was an emotionally fragile man who could not cope when romantic relationships brakes down and has a history of threatening suicide.
He went to see his girlfriend after learning she cheated. She then told him she was no longer interested in the relationship. Breaking into tears several times as she gave evidence, the young woman, Ms Jordan said the next morning she had arranged to have dinner with him, she said:
‘I kissed him on the cheek and said goodbye.” We were texting all day and at 4pm that was the last I heard from him.
Asked what were in the text messages, she said: He said “I love you very much”. He started apologising to me as if he had done something wrong, but i said you haven’t done anything wrong.
At 4pm she sent him a text msg asking if she could come over that night, but she never got a reply. She then called some of his colleagues to ask them to check on him.However, Ms Jodan told the hearing that she never thought he would kill himself.
She said: I just didn’t want him taking his motorbike out and driving 300 miles an hour but I wasn’t thinking he would take his life.
