An escort worker plunged to her death from the balcony of a Manchester city centre hotel after one of her clients told her parents about her secret life. Martin Riley, 30, from Blackley, emailed the family of model Laura Pahomova, 23, to tell them she was an escort and needed help, an inquest at Manchester Town Hall heard.
Her shocked parents, who live in Latvia, had believed she was in England to study maths and science at University. But in fact she was working for Manchester-based Mckenzies Escort Agency, and had formed an on-off relationship with Mr Riley through the agency.
Seemingly ashamed of her secret life, she sent a series of texts to her parents, telling them: “I’m worth nothing ... You deserve a better daughter”. Hours later, on 30 September 2012, she plunged from the 18th floor balcony at The Light Boutique Aparthotel in the Northern Quarter and fell 100ft to her death. Suicidal notes and apologies were found scrawled in lipstick on the mirrors and walls of her room.
The inquest heard how Mr Riley disclosed private information to Miss Pahomova’s parents, even though he knew she might kill herself if her parents found out the truth about her life in Manchester.
