Jamie Brayley: Miss Jones’s ex-boyfriend denied

A British teacher working in the Middle East was found dead after her ex-boyfriend posted naked pictures of her on Facebook, an inquest heard today.

Emma Jones, 24, who was working in an international school in Abu Dhabi, feared she could be jailed in the Muslim country over the photos.

The inquest heard she drank poisonous cleaning fluid as she was packing to leave to return to Britain.

Miss Jones’s mother Louise Rowlands told the hearing her daughter was distressed after Jamie Brayley posted the  pictures on the internet.

Mrs Rowlands, 41, said: ‘He put a memory stick in the computer and copied some indecent images of Emma.

‘He put them on her Facebook and she said she was accused of prostitution by a man working at the school.’

Miss Jones, a Greenwich University graduate, had worked at the International School of Choueifat in Khalifa City in Abu Dhabi since 2008, teaching eight-year-olds.

But the inquest heard a man called George working in the IT department at the school had seen the pictures - and she feared he would report it to the authorities.

Mrs Rowlands said: ‘Emma and George didn’t get on at all. She said she had to get away.’

Emma told her mother she feared she would be jailed in the strict Arabic country.

Full-time carer Mrs Rowlands said: ‘She was crying, she was breaking her heart. I said, “Emma, whatever it is can’t be that bad. Just come home”.’

But Emma told her mother: ‘I can’t leave the country, they will throw me in jail.’

The inquest in Cardiff heard Miss Jones, of Caerphilly, South Wales, had also confided in her flatmate, Iranian teacher Mona Moshki.

Moshki, 29, found her collapsed in their apartment and called an ambulance, but medics failed to save her.

Her passport was found in her jeans pocket and her clothes were lying on her bed ready for packing.

Former boyfriend IT consultant Mr Brayley described Mrs Rowlands’ claims as ‘complete fantasy’.

He admitted he had used Miss Jones’s computer but denied he had ever downloaded private photographs of her.

He said: ‘Emma never sent me any indecent images. She wasn’t that type of character.’

Deputy assistant coroner Thomas Atherton said he did not believe Mr Brayley was to blame for Ms Jones’s death.

The inquest heard Abu Dhabi police suspected suicide and ruled out foul play.

Pathologist Dr Thomas Hockey performed a post mortem examination at Llandough Hospital, near Cardiff, to confirm Miss Jones died after drinking a corrosive substance.

Mr Atherton said he could not be sure Miss Jones meant to kill herself and recorded an open verdict.

He said she may have accidentally drunk cleaning fluid from an unlabelled container, mistakenly believing it was water.

He said: ‘For whatever reason Emma expressed concern she was about to be arrested and put in prison.

‘She agreed the best course of action was to leave Abu Dhabi and return to Britain. Her clothes were out and her passport was in her pocket. That’s not someone who is contemplating suicide.’

Speaking at the time of Ms Jones’s death, her mother said: ‘She was so happy and just wanted to enjoy life.

‘Emma loved it there with the children. One of her sayings was, “There are sayers and doers”. She was a doer.’
