An aspiring model announced she was going to commit suicide on Facebook before throwing herself under a speeding train, an inquest jury has been told.

Gabrielle Joseph, 16, posted a message to friends on the social networking site hours before taking her own life. The teenager, from Briton Ferry in South Wales, went on to post a message to a friend saying: "I am going to kill myself tonight."

The words were written after a boy she had planned to go with to the cinema called off their date.
