Molly Russell inquest – coroner’s conclusion in full

Here are the remarks in full from coroner Andrew Walker as he concluded the inquest into Molly Russell’s death.“Molly Rose Russell (died) on 21 November 2017. Molly was 14-years old.“Molly appeared a normal healthy girl who was flourishing at school, having settled well into secondary school life and displayed an enthusiastic interest in the performing arts.“However, Molly had become depressed, a common condition affecting children of this age.
