Nina Paunova, who was moved to the UK from Bulgaria at the age of five, studied art and design at Bishop Burton College where she received a triple distinction in her final exams.



She had also won a scholarship for university and was due to start her final year of a fashion and marketing degree at Manchester Metropolitan University. She was known as 'Beauty of Beverley' in her home town in East.

Her heartbroken family described her as 'stunning, bright and hard-working'.

She was dating a wealthy man by named of Sam Scott, who already spent £10,000 on jewellery and clothing, £4,500 on trips to London and Paris and at least £2,000 on holidays to Croatia and Menorca.



The girl in question sent a text message to her friend Elizabeth Gough which stated 'I told you what my plan is. Straight after my 21st and after he has spent £1,000 to £2,000 I'm gone.

'After all the shit I've put up with. I will literally take my presents and the week after my 21st end it and delete him.'

Her boyfriend obtained the message when it was sent to him by Gough's boyfrined. Sam soon broke up with her immediately via text after getting the text she sent to her friend.


In the hours before her death Miss Paunova, who was 'obsessed with social media', drove to her ex-boyfriend's house to confront him but was refused entry and threatened to kill herself.

She then drove her car through a hedge at more than 60mph into a nearby field and hanged herself after cutting her wrists.

Her parents warned her not to get back together with her boyfriend Sam after a two month break but they had rekindled their relationship and were going on holiday three days after her death.

The student had sent a text to her mother Niviana before she killed herself which included the words: 'I guess I should have listened sooner.'
