You can hurt for the rest of your life.<br /><br />&quot;I told you I would make you pay. Enjoy your life now. Nothing is stopping you. Ha ha ha. Just remember, it&#39;s all your fault.&quot;<br /><br />Mr Dangerfield broke down as it was read in court and had to leave. Coroner Robin Balmain said it was the most distressing case he had ever dealt with.<br /><br />He said: &quot;Emma Hart left a note which was severely critical of Mr Dangerfield. I have heard no evidence to justify that view. She couldn&#39;t get her way and maybe was driven by jealousy. I can&#39;t imagine something quite so evil. She was prepared to kill her son to spite him.&quot;<br /><br />He recorded a verdict of suicide on Emma, who had also taken lethal doses of morphine, painkillers and antidepressants, and unlawful killing on Lewis.<br /><br />Giving evidence, Mr Dangerfield, 27, said Emma, from Tipton, West Mids, was troubled and often violent during their fouryear on-off relationship and had threatened suicide.<br /><br />She was also unhappy about him being with his new partner.<br /><br />Last December, she rang one Friday to cancel his weekend with Lewis, saying she was taking him to see Santa - then killed him. On Saturday afternoon she went to mother Lynn&#39;s home and said Lewis was with his father. At 7pm Lynn found her in bed covered in blood.<br /><br />A note read: &quot;I&#39;m so sorry for taking Lewis and me away. I can&#39;t take it anymore.&quot;<br /><br />In a statement, Mr Dangerfield said: &quot;Being told the exact reasons as to how he was murdered won&#39;t bring him back, but does bring it to an end.&quot;<br /><br />Lynn told the Smethwick inquest: &quot;She was not a horrible person, she was a loving mum</font>
