A 15-year-old girl died when she set herself on fire in a garden 'den' after her boyfriend broke up with her, an inquest today heard.
Rebecca Berry, known as Rebe, sent her ex-partner a string of desperate social media messages, saying she had decided to kill herself, after he ended their seven-month relationship.
But the boy - who cannot be named for legal reasons - did not take her threats seriously because she had made them before, the inquest in Bournemouth heard.
Later that day setting herself alight in a den she had turned into a shrine for her dead kitten in her family's garden in Edmondsham, East Dorset.
She was found dead at the scene with burn injuries by her adoptive mother, Gill Scott-Taylor.
