A millionaire lawyer who killed herself was tortured by the guilt that she was not a good enough mother to her three young children.

Sarah Johnson lived in a £12.5million house in an exclusive London square with her banker husband and appeared to have an enviably happy home life, an inquest heard.

But the 36-year-old turned to drink earlier this year after ‘personal problems’, telling her GP she had ‘ruined her happy life’.

After being admitted to mental health hospital The Priory, she jumped in front of a tube train at London’s Victoria station in April. An inquest heard that her suicide note spoke of ‘her wonderful husband and her three beautiful children who she adored’ but that she felt her ‘respect, self-esteem and dignity [had] all gone now’.

Concluding she had committed suicide, Westminster coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said: ‘She suffered from guilt. She felt she hadn’t been a good enough mother and I think that guilt was considerable for her.’

Mrs Johnson lived with her husband David, 37, in a five-storey house in an exclusive Belgravia square where Baroness Thatcher once lived. The youngest of their children had just turned three.

The lawyer – whose father Graham Parr is a prominent Lancashire businessman who once helped buy out the Pontin’s holiday camp chain – was healthy, financially stable and appeared to have a happy family home, last week’s hearing was told.

But she had started drinking heavily in January, often having the first glass as early as 11am, and then vodka as well as beer in the evenings. On occasions, the inquest heard, she would drink until she blacked out.
