This is the last picture of terminally ill Jackie Baker with her two daughters before her death in a suicide clinic.
Supporters raised £8,000 so Jackie, 59, could get to the Dignitas clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, after police warned Rose and Tara they faced 14 years in jail if they went ahead with a fundraising night.
Jackie, virtually paralysed with motor neurone disease, listened to Bob Marley as she pushed a button to release poison into her mouth. She said: “I’m not afraid of death. I feel I’m in hell.”
Rose, 29, and Tara O’Reilly, 40, of Llanelli, West Wales, were with her – and expect a police quiz when they return.
Tara, now seeking to change the law, said: “It was her choice. It sounds crazy, but we’re happy.” South Wales Police said they were “aware” of Jackie’s death.
Earlier this year Tara and Rose led a fund raising campaign to help their mother and even planned a raunchy party to help pay for the trip.
