A 'gifted' gardener, 35, took his own life after telling his friends he 'couldn't live without' his girlfriend - a mum-of-three who had been found dead just three days earlier. The young man from Blackpool had been left devastated by the death of his partner, whose death is also believed to be a suicide.
Craig Daffery was reported missing to police on Friday January 14 after he had last been seen in the Paddock Close area of Thornton-Cleveleys at 2.30pm. Officers issued a picture of his red Mazda car as concerns for his welfare grew but his body was found in the Catforth area of Preston two days later on Sunday, January 16.
The 35-year-old, who attended Myerscough College and ran his own landscape gardening business Daffern's Design & Landscapes, had been left devastated by the death of his girlfriend Jenny Shanley, a mum-of-three who had been found dead on January 11. Miss Shanley's death, believed to be a suicide, will be subject to an inquest later this year, reports LancsLive .
