A 67-year-old Northampton woman was found dead at her house in Cyprus after expressing she “didn’t want to be here anymore”.
Sandra Walker-Saville was found hanged in her home in the Turkish occupied north of Cyprus by her husband in March last year.
In a statement read out by the coroner, he husband Stuart said: “She loved us all and we all loved her. She was so excited for seeing everybody again”.
Coroner Anne Pember ruled that she could not know what was going through Mrs Walker-Saville’s mind when she died and that she could have been trying to “draw attention to her sadness when something went disastrously wrong”.
The inquest heard that the British developer they bought the house from had at one point tried to charge them for the deed to the house, and they had “no chance of selling”.
The coroner also heard a neighbour spoke offensively about the 67-year-old grandmother on occasions and at one point told her husband, Stuart, to “sort her out”.
This greatly upset the Northampton woman when she heard about it.
On the day she died in March 2017, the couple had bumped into the same neighbour while playing golf, and she became upset when she got home.
