A young mum whose partner killed their baby daughter took her own life after she was trolled and attacked in the street, an inquest heard today.

Danah Vince, 20, was verbally and physically assaulted in public and online over the death of her little girl Paris Vince-Stephens.

Paris was battered by her dad William Stephens, 25, who lost his temper and shook the 16-week-old causing "catastrophic" head injuries.

He was jailed for six years for manslaughter and Danah, who had been charged with causing or allowing the death of her baby daughter, was cleared.

But despite being found not guilty she was called a "baby killer" in public and sent threatening letters and social media messages.

She was then attacked by a gang of girls in a pub and hours later Danah, of Bristol, killed herself, Avon Coroner's Court heard.

In a statement read to the court, her dad, David John, said: "Since Paris' death, Danah had been up and down.

"She was depressed. She was strong and happy at times and wanted to move forward with her life. I'm aware she would be shouted at in the street.

"They would shout 'baby killer' at her. They would get right in her face and shout it. She also told me she has received threatening letters. These threats forced her to relive her grief.

"She was continuing to have people shout abuse at her. She was strong and would stand up for herself but this would get her down.

"She found it it hard to move on with we life because of this. Every time I would see her she would say someone had shouted at her."

During her trial at Bristol Crown Court, the jury heard the young parents had a "volatile" on-off relationship. Evil Stephens was subject to a restraining order banning him from contacting Danah, but the court was told he was still living with her and Paris at the time of her death.

The yob is thought to have lost control and shaken crying Paris, causing her a fatal brain bleed in January 2013. Medics fought to save her for two days, and experts said her injuries were either caused by shaking or banging her head against a soft surface - or a combination of both.

Danah walked free from court, but was forced to move away from her family in Southmead, Bristol, in a bid to escape harassment.

The inquest heard she returned to her local pub near her family's home and she was punched by three girls. Several statements read to the court said how a group of women abused her, shouted things like 'baby killer' and "you shouldn't be out".

Hours later on November 29 last year - almost a year after she was cleared - she was found dead in her home after taking an overdose of tranquillisers.

In a statement about the pub attack, witness Jaylea Monks told the inquest: "These women were shouting at Danah, calling her a 'baby killer'.

"They were right up close. She was saying things like 'I didn't kill her, I didn't hurt my baby'. She said that she couldn't take his anymore. I don't remember anything being said that made me worried about Danah. That was the last time I spoke to Danah."

Another woman in the pub, Shay Barwich, added: "I got to the pub on Friday. I could see Danah surrounded by 3 or 4 people. I heard them shouting at her - 'dirty f*****g baby killer' Danah was shouting back saying she didn't do anything.

"Danah was now crying. She said let me fight them. She said she didn't care, 'let me end it all'. She also kept saying 'I can't deal with it any more'."

Speaking last year, her mum Lisa said: "Danah's only crime was to let this horrible man back into her life.

"She was cleared of doing anything wrong but people just refused to accept she was innocent.

"Danah wanted to try and get her life back on track but wasn't allowed to by people who didn't know the truth.

"When Danah was found not guilty she was determined to get on with her life and make something of herself. At the time she was just in complete shock.

"She made the decision to go to the police, she just wanted to get it sorted out as quickly as possible. After the court case she moved out of Southmead and took parenting classes.

"She tried to stay away from the people being horrible to her. The problem was all her family and friends are in the area so it was really tough for her.

"She tried really hard but she had her ups and downs. Some days she would be fine and then at other times she would get very low."

The inquest heard that Danah was on amitriptyline, an antidepressant that helped her sleep.

"She had been on it for several months and it had been increased from 10mg to 200mg in that time. She was also set to undergo treatment for mental health issues, but died before her treatment began.

A pathologist found she died from acute toxic effects of amitriptyline, codeine and alcohol.

Delivering a verdict of suicide, Avon Coroner Maria Voisin, said: "Danah's child died in 2013 when she was only three months old. Both Danah and her then partner William were charged. A crown court trial acquitted her. Danah became a victim of abuse and threats referring to the death of her daughter.

"One evening, Danah was involved in an altercation while out with friends and she was very upset.

"Comments read in court indicate that she said 'I'll end it all, I can't do it anymore'. She was on medication for depression. Her death was down to the toxic effect of alcohol and drugs.

"There was no evidence to suggest she had been restrained or violently assaulted before her death. Danah Vince deliberately took drugs to cause her own death. I now consider, based upon all the evidence that the appropriate conclusion should be suicide."
