Boy, 9, killed by 'doting but distressed' mother

A 9-year-old boy, Hudson Paterson, and his 31-year-old mother, Tasmin, were found dead in their Cornwall home; the coroner recorded Hudson's death as unlawful killing and Tasmin's as suicide.
The inquest heard Tasmin had been distressed after arguments over her relationship, long‑term health and financial worries, and her belief the house felt "bad"; police evidence suggested she killed her son before taking her own life.
The case has shocked the local community, prompted tributes and left people seeking support and answers as the investigation and inquest findings are discussed.
