Teen Rail Deaths: Father Says Son Was Happy

The father of a teenager who was killed by a train in a suspected suicide pact with a school friend has said his son was a "happy person".

Mert Karaoglan, 18, and Charleigh Disbrey, 15, died after being hit by a First Capital Connect service close to Elstree and Borehamwood station in Hertfordshire on Monday night.

At least one suicide note is believed to have been found at the scene, it was reported, and British Transport Police are not treating the deaths as suspicious.

Mert, reportedly a budding film-maker, and Charleigh, an aspiring musician, were killed shortly before 9pm, 200 yards from the station by an empty passenger train. They had climbed over a fence close by.

The pair, from Borehamwood, attended the local Hertswood Academy, where Mert was in Year 13 and Charleigh in Year 10.

Mert's father, named by The Sun newspaper as Sakru, 48, said "everything seemed okay" with his son.

He told the newspaper Mert had been watching television at his home when he said he was "going out for one or two hours".

He said: "We told him not to be out late. We were waiting and waiting. Then the police came round to see us at nine this morning. I can't stop crying."

Floral tributes to the teenagers and cards were left outside the school's gates. One card read: "To Mert, thinking of you always, bless your soul and may you rest in peace friend."

Another read: "Sleep tight angel. RIP CJ and Mert, never forgotten."

Friends of the pair took to social media to express their shock and grief.

Writing with the Twitter name @lav--gecaj27m, one girl said: "R.I.P Cj and Mert such wonderful and talented people, you will be truly missed xxxxx."

Another girl, @CoverGirlLi, wrote: "Still can't believe it. Rip Mert and CJ," while @ShannReade said: "Situations like this just do not make sense, RIP Mert and CJ."

A Facebook tribute page also saw friends and well-wishers express their grief and sympathy.

Robert Twiner, from Edgware in northwest London, wrote: "R.I.P To my beautiful cousin Cj. We are thinking about you every second xxx."

"At peace and with the angels. God Bless," was the message left by Peter George Bailey.
