A devastated mum whose son texted “love you brother” to his friend before jumping in front of a train has shared a emotional message following the conclusion of an inquest into his death. Jakub Halani, who was 19 when he took his own life, suffered multiple traumatic injuries when he fell in front of a train moving at 75mph through Eccles station in February.

On July 3, an inquest at Bolton Coroners Court found Jakub’s death to be suicide. Coroner Stephen Teasdale made the ruling after hearing that the teen ordered a Bolt taxi to the station, where CCTV footage appeared to show his “deliberate” act of jumping off the platform.

Distraught mum Kataryzna Halani paid a solemn tribute to her “amazing” and “talented” boy, telling the inquest he had “great friends” and a “very successful” career in music production.

She is now intent on making sure other young men speak up if they’re struggling and get the help they need.

Katarzyna said: “He was a very private person, but also sometimes he would come and sit on the sofa and talk to me for two hours.

“He was very successful, and he had a great group of friends. He was very close to his sister.”

The inquest heard how Jakub had a nocturnal sleeping pattern, working on his music under the name “Prod by Jak”.

However, according to his friend Jacob Bailey, Jakub sleeping all day and working all night was “normal”, and he never expressed negative feelings about having a low mood or suicidal thoughts.

Jakub’s mum had spoken to him on February 2, the day of his death, the court heard.

The conversation took place at around 5pm and he told her he had been “up all night making beats”.

The inquest heard that he got in a Bolt taxi and arrived at Eccles station at 10.37pm.

Three minutes later, Mr Bailey received a Snapchat message from Jakub which read “love you brother” along with several images of themselves together.

Mr Bailey told the inquest that he thought the message was “unusual” but was not instantly concerned by it.

CCTV from the station over the next few minutes showed the teenager on his phone, which Leanne Callan from the British Transport Police said was “consistent” with the “love you brother” message received at 10.40pm.

Train driver Paul Graves said in a statement that the train was not due to stop at Eccles and thus was doing 75mph.

He said: “I saw a male come out of the shadows. He jumped in front of the train. It was all over in second”.

Jakub was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics and a toxicology report showed no alcohol or drugs in his system.

Officers investigating the sorry affair found two notes written on the back of a letter dated December 18, 2022.

They were found screwed up at the back of his bedside drawer, with one headlined “why” which detailed his feelings of low mood and anxiety.

Jakub had been referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in 2018 after attempting to self-harm using a pencil and saying that life was not worth living.

Following the conclusion of the inquest, Jakub’s mum released a touching statement paying tribute to him.

It read: “I’m sitting here with my son.

“Son, who is not in his physical world now but is present forever in spirit. He was such a lovely boy. He was always conscious of other people’s needs and feelings, protective towards his sister and mum and dedicated to his love of music.

“We are struggling to accept that he chose this action, however, we will always continue to find solace in his music and tunes and the memories left behind along with kindness and love he spread.

“He was someone who took pride in having loyal friends and being loyal to them himself. Someone, who took pride in the way he presented himself. He often felt that he had the ability to sense others and their intentions.”

She added how she felt he believed asking for help was a “weakness” while he was always willing to provide help for others.

“Nobody knew what was coming and why this has happened. He respected adults, who took time on seeing a mature human in him, not just a teenager who doesn’t know anything,” she added.
