Full-time carer Martina Karos and Eleni Edwards, eight, were found dead at home in Salford
A translator who became a full-time carer for her severely disabled eight-year-old daughter killed herself and her child after becoming “overwhelmed” by loneliness, a coroner concluded.
Martina Karos, 40, and Eleni Edwards were found dead at their home in Salford, Greater Manchester, after police were called when the girl did not turn up at school on 23 September 2024.
Bolton coroner’s court heard how Karos struggled with her mental health after the breakup of a relationship, and caring for her daughter left her feeling socially isolated and lonely.
She had told a friend she felt life was not worth living, and at times had become emotionally distant from her daughter, who was blind and had limited mobility.
