Opening of Inquest into death of Brenda
Leyland |
Leicester Coroner’s Court
18 Dec 2014
Senior Coroner: Mrs Mason
For Sky: Counsel, Claire Dobbin (sp?)
Leicester Police: Sgt Taylor, Det Sgt
Hutchins
Various press.
Sonia Poulton and ‘minder’.
Leyland family not present.
The coroner set out who will appear at
the inquest.
Scope of inquest is essentially to
establish who died, how, when and where.
It is not about establishing fault or
blame.
However, there is room to establish
within the how, why Brenda died.
Although, at this stage, she did not
envisage criminal proceedings, this may
change on the day of the inquest.
There will be no jury, she will sit
alone.
The police have completed their
enquiries and all witness statements
have been received.
There has been no disclosure of evidence
to date to interested parties.
She does not require to hear the sons
and will rely on the statement given to
police by Ben Leyland.
Witnesses and evidence to be heard:
Dr West – pathologist (statement only)
Dr Smith – toxicologist (oral evidence)
Dr Zakrzewski – not Brenda’s GP, but had
knowledge of her
Jonathan Levy – Sky (producer?)
Martin Brunt – Sky reporter
Ben Leyland – evidence only
Sgt Taylor – Leics Police
Det Sgt Hutchins – Leics Police
Expected duration of inquest – one day
Date – Friday 20 March
All witness statements will be disclosed
to Sky’s counsel, though they must sign
a disclaimer that the evidence will not
be published ahead of the inquest.
The coroner placed Ben Leyland after
Martin Brunt because his evidence
relates to the period after Brunt
approached his mother.
More info to follow. Sky are obviously
seriously concerned. |
