A young woman who died in London's 7/7 bombings was "unlawfully killed", according to a ruling made by the coroner investigating the 2005 bomb attacks.

The ruling on the deaths of the 52 victims, including Kew's Emily Jenkins, was revealed this morning.

But coroner Lady Justice Hallett added that there was no evidence that "failings of any organisation or individual caused or contributed to the deaths".

Miss Jenkins, 24, had dreamed of helping others by one day joining the medical profession when she died on a Piccadilly line train that was rocked by an explosion.

The tube Miss Jenkins was on was approaching Russell Square station when the bomb went off.

Russell Square was targeted by suicide bombers as part of orchestrated terrorist attacks on London's transport links which also saw Aldgate and Edgware Road tube stations and a double decker bus heading to Tavistock Square attacked.

In total more than 700 people were injured in the four bomb attacks.

Speaking at the inquest in November, Miss Jenkins' mother Sarah said the experience was very harrowing.

She said: "Emily was a loved and much more than missed daughter and sister.

"I was talking to one of the other mothers [of a 7/7 victim] and said it is quite different from anything else as you are constantly reminded of it.

"I don't think the loss of a child ever goes away."

This morning's ruling followed 19 weeks of evidence, with 309 witnesses addressing the court and a further 197 statements submitted.

As well as making her ruling Lady Justice Hallett said she would make recommendations which "may save lives" in the future.

She also added that apart from simply recording the sad fact that 52 innocent members of the travelling public were unlawfully killed in a "dreadful act of terrorism", the inquest had allowed the courts to unearth previously unseen material about what happened that day.
