Young woman who urged boyfriend to take his life jailed for two and a half years

"I am heartbroken," Conrad Roy's father said.

A woman who encouraged her suicidal boyfriend to kill himself in dozens of text messages and told him to "get back in" a truck filled with toxic gas has been jailed for 15 months for involuntary manslaughter.

Michelle Carter, now 20, was convicted in June by a judge who said her final instruction to Conrad Roy III caused his death. Carter was 17 when 18-year-old Mr Roy was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in July 2014.
