Simone Jabakhanji had rowed with husband Mohammed, who was arrested on suspicion of murder but then freed
Simone Jabakhanji had rowed with husband Mohammed, who was arrested on suspicion of murder but then freed.
A coroner yesterday said the truth of 27-year-old Simone’s death may never be known because police in Africa would not help him.
Simone, from Leyland, Lancs, moved to Gambia after meeting Mohammed, 29, on holiday and they married in a Valentine’s Day beach ceremony in 2010.
Her mother Janice Lally told the Preston inquest the couple argued after it emerged he was infertile.
Coroner Simon Jones has said the mystery surrounding the death might never be solved
“He had been aggressive – it came back he couldn’t have children, unless he gave up smoking weed, cigarettes and alcohol.”

Mrs Lally said: “He had been aggressive – it came back he couldn’t have children, unless he gave up smoking weed, cigarettes and alcohol.”
Simone, who sounded “happy and normal” on the evening she died at the couple’s home in the capital Banjul, had once said she feared Mohammed might break her legs.
Coroner Simon Jones said the mystery surrounding her death in August 2011 might never be solved because of the lack of help by Gambian police.
Recording an open verdict, he said: “I have had no response to the letters I have written to the Gambian authorities.”
