Much-loved teenager Rhianne Halton had given birth to her second child just six weeks before she tragically ended her life at her home in Torquay on May 10, 2020. An inquest held in Plymouth yesterday heard Rhianne had a long history of mental health problems due to a ‘difficult childhood’ which saw her being raised by her devoted grandparents.
