Bullying victim hanged herself in school toilets

A 16-year-old girl who had come to Britain from Poland was found hanged in school toilets after being targeted by a group of girls, a court heard.

Dagmara Przybysz, who moved to this country with family nine years ago, was found dead last May.

In a previous online discussion on Ask.fm about what problems she had in school, Dagmara had replied: ‘Racism.’

Detective Constable Craig Daddow, of Camborne CID, confirmed that police had gathered evidence of bullying incidents.

He told the hearing in Truro: ‘We spoke to many pupils and we gathered evidence that there were incidents in which Dagmara was bullied by a group of girls and she was also pushed in a corridor on one occasion.

‘We did not speak to any individuals about the bullying because we do not want to worry them that they are in trouble in a criminal way.’

Senior coroner for Cornwall Emma Carlyon said that it will be her role during the full inquest hearing to examine the circumstances behind Dagmara’s death, but not to attribute blame.
