Teacher kills herself because of Facebook photos

Teacher kills herself because of Facebook photos
London: A 24-year-old British teacher working in the Gulf killed herself after her ex-boyfriend allegedly posted naked pictures of her on Facebook.

Emma Jones, who worked at an Abu Dhabi international school, drank poisonous cleaning fluid, as she feared that she could be jailed in the Muslim country over the explicit images, her mother claimed.

Louise Rowlands, her mother, told an inquest that Jones was distressed after former boyfriend Jamie Brayley downloaded photographs posted pictures of her on Facebook, Daily Express reported.

"He put them on her Facebook and she said she was accused of prostitution by a man working at the school." Meanwhile, Brayley termed Rowlands' claims as "complete fantasy".

Rowlands said Jones had spoken to her on the phone in the days before her death and that she planned to fly home to Britain.

But she was discovered collapsed in her home in Khalifa City by a flatmate with her passport in her jeans pocket and her clothes lying on her bed ready for packing.

Her flatmate called for an ambulance but paramedics could not save her.
