‘It’s too late’ – her final words

IN her heartbreaking final text, Megan Hoyle told her close friend Christopher Cozens that ‘if you have got this message then it’s too late and I’m sorry’.

She said: ‘Don’t call anyone, don’t call an ambulance – don’t think, just let the drugs kick in and let me go peacefully.’ She told Mr Cozens: ‘I was strong once and internally beautiful but that girl died when I was 12 years old, when he [her attacker] destroyed my body, my mind and my soul.’

She asked her friend to apologise on her behalf to her mother Wendy Charnley, sisters Becky, 28, and Poppy, six, and brother Lee, 25.
