Harrowing new CCTV footage has been released, capturing the final, desperate moments of a mother seen running through the streets of Hull before she and her young son were tragically killed by a train.
The video shows 32-year-old LouiseAnn Jordan, dressed in a pink onesie and without shoes, sprinting along Osborne Street in the city centre at approximately 1:45 pm on January 22nd. This distressing footage was captured just minutes before the unimaginable double tragedy at the nearby Paragon Interchange rail station.
A Desperate Search Ends in Tragedy
LouiseAnn and her three-year-old son, MJ, had been reported missing from their home earlier that fateful day, prompting a frantic search by concerned family members. Their disappearance was described as deeply out of character, sparking immediate alarm.
Tragically, their whereabouts were discovered hours later when both were struck and killed by a train entering Hull Paragon station. The incident sent shockwaves through the local community and halted all rail services.
Family's Heartbreaking Tributes
In a moving statement released through Humberside Police, LouiseAnn's devastated family paid emotional tribute to a 'devoted and amazing mother' whose world revolved around her beloved son.
They described MJ as a 'beautiful, happy little boy' who was adored by his entire family. The profound loss of both lives has left a void that can never be filled, with the family requesting privacy as they attempt to grieve.
Inquest Opens into Double Tragedy
An inquest into the deaths of LouiseAnn and MJ Jordan was opened and adjourned at Hull Coroner's Court this week. The brief hearing confirmed the heartbreaking cause of death for both mother and son.
Humberside Police have confirmed they are preparing a file for the Coroner and continue to investigate the full circumstances leading up to the incident. The investigation is standard procedure in such tragedies.
The release of the CCTV footage is part of the ongoing investigation, aiming to piece together the final movements of the mother and son. The community of Hull remains united in grief following this profound tragedy.
