Paul McBride suffocated baby son Ollie in Preston

A father suffocated his six-month-old son before killing himself at a house in Lancashire, an inquest has heard.

Ollie McBride was found suffocated at his father's house in Preston on 14 September. His father Paul McBride, 39, was found hanged at the address.

The inquest heard McBride, who worked as a taxi driver, had broken up with the child's mother a short time before.

Preston's deputy coroner Simon Jones recorded verdicts that McBride took his own life and unlawfully killed his son.

The inquest heard that Ollie's mother, Michaela Swain, had secured a non-molestation order following the end of their "turbulent relationship".      Read Here
