The mother of Purley chef Kevin Boyle appeared on television to launch her campaign against online suicide kits.

Kevin, 26, of Old Lodge Lane went missing last October and his body was found on January 23, at the bottom of a Coulsdon garden bordering Farthing Downs.

In a recent interview, his mother Patti revealed a brown package arrived for her son on October 12, the morning he disappeared.

Having hacked into his email account, his dad Tom, 64, discovered their son had paid £44 for a suicide kit from a company that promised painless "deliverance."

This week, Mrs Boyle appeared on This Morning to talk about her campaign for deliverance kits to be banned.

The 54-year-old told presenters Phillip Scohfield and Holly Willoughby: "I'm campaigning to have them stopped, primarily because it is sold as deliverance and that's why I reduced it to precisely what it was- it was death in a bag.

"Lets not eulogise it, it is what it is. What sickens me is there are people in the UK who are delivering these kits knowingly, willingly and wilfully to the most vulnerable and earning their living from it."

Mrs Boyle said since her sons death she had started doing research and had discovered one in five men under the age of 35 commit suicide.

Asked about society's attitude towards men feeling down and suffering from depressions, she said: "We as mothers do not want our children bullied in the playground, I hold my hand up I was guilty as the next person.

"I'd say "don't cry son, you don't want people to mock you. Big boys don't cry," but actually now I am here to shout big boys do cry and it's ok and we need to get over it, because if my son had of cried perhaps he would still be here."
