A talented musician killed herself after her best friend was horrifically murdered alongside her sister and parents, an inquest heard.
Tormented Natasha Warnes, 16, described as a 'bubbly and outgoing person', never came to terms with the brutal death of Xing Ding, 18.
Xing was stabbed to death with her sister Alice and parents university lecturer Jifeng, 46, and Ge Chui, 47 - known as Helen - at their home in Northampton on the day of last year’s Royal Wedding.
The friends used to play in the same Northamptonshire Youth Orchestra and became close before the quadruple murder.
Natasha - known as Tasha to friends - barricaded herself in her bedroom after placing a ‘Do not disturb’ sign on her door, on July 28, last year, an inquest at Northampton General Hospital heard today.
She was discovered by friend Alexsandr Rokicki, 19, unconscious, having taken sleeping pills and suffocated herself.
He went to her home in Broadway, Northampton, after realising something was wrong because she had deleted her Facebook profile.
She was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. Two suicide notes were later discovered.
