Victoria Halliday, 19, believed she was on a mission to rescue the 'good people' from the top of the 140ft leisure complex when police rescued her

A teenage girl with mental health problems who believed she had super powers killed herself two weeks after scaling a six-storey building, an inquest heard.

Victoria Halliday, 19, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, believed she was on a mission to rescue the 'good people' from the top of the 140ft leisure complex when police rescued her in July last year.

But an inquest heard voices in her head had told her she had to complete her mission or commit suicide.

The teenager, who had already been warned by police after climbing the outside of a building in Leicester, was saved from the Xscape building in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

Just two weeks later she was found hanged in woodland in Leicestershire.

An inquest held at Leicester Town Hall heard Victoria went missing three times - to Milton Keynes and Cardiff - between April and July 15, prompting police searches.

She was seen four times by staff at the mental health unit at Milton Keynes hospital after police became concerned for her safety.

Giving evidence at the inquest yesterday, nurse Denise Harris said on the last occasion Victoria climbed to the top of the six-storey Xscape building.

The nurse, who works at the Campbell Centre in Milton Keynes, added: 'She said she was rescuing the good people from the bad people

Victoria was captured on CCTV at a station in Leicester in June 2015, shortly before her death

'She was listening to the 'leader' who told her to climb.'

Ms Harris said Victoria, who believed she had super powers and could climb any building without equipment, had an imaginary friend called Grace who advised her about her mission.

The inquest heard counsellor Janet Bagley, who was employed by the family to help Victoria, had eight sessions with her with the last one on July 28.

Ms Bagley said the teen had told her she had super powers and there was a gang of them who could fly, breathe underwater or be invisible.

The counsellor also told the coroner Victoria was unpredictable and sometimes she was calm and lucid but other times she was anxious.

The inquest heard Victoria was detained under the Mental Health Act after she was rescued from the Xscape building

The inquest heard Victoria, had a history of behavioural problems.

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Beena Kumari, from the Bradgate Mental Health Unit at Glenfield, Leicester, said she suffered from 'environmentally unstable personality disorder.'

But she told the hearing Victoria was not displaying psychosis despite hearing voices and suffering delusions.

Dr Kumari said repeated assessments showed the best treatment for Victoria would be in the community and that prolonged time in hospital would be counter-productive.

She added: 'There was a high risk of suicide. But it was a difficult balance.'

But Victoria's condition deteriorated in the Bradgate Unit while the doctor was on holiday and she was detained under the Mental Health Act.

After six weeks she improved and was discharged but she then went missing from home and was back in the unit two days later.

The inquest heard Victoria was detained under the Mental Health Act after she was rescued from the Xscape building.

She was taken back to the Bradgate Unit and assessed and it was felt she was lucid and calm and should be released but two weeks later she was dead.

The inquest continues.
