A WOMAN whose grandson took his own life because he was unable to cope with his mother’s murder has said she will never get over the double family tragedy.
An inquest heard Jamie McKitten, 17, from Great Lumley, stepped in front of a train at Chester-le-Street with the intention of killing himself.
The coroners’ court was told the youngster was unable to come to terms with the brutal death of his mother, Kelly McKitten, 31, at the hands of his father, Stuart Cummings.
He and his older brother were in their home at Pelton Fell when the horrifying murder took place in 2008.
