There is NO mention of who concocted that. I suspect it may be Poulton, as the same line has been inserted, and someone's opinion has been added to what should be a straight report.
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. The Coroner Catherine Mason actually said: “I understand from my officers that of all of the witnesses to be called to give oral evidence there is nobody who will have any criminal action taken against them.”
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All witness statements will be disclosed to Sky’s counsel, though they must sign a disclaimer that the evidence will not be published ahead of the inquest.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.
There is NO mention of who concocted that. I suspect it may be Poulton, as the same line has been inserted, and someone's opinion has been added to what should be a straight report.
