Inquest of Jo Cox

The inquest into the death of Jo Cox was opened and adjourned by West Yorkshire Coroner Martin Fleming during a six minute hearing at Bradford Coroner's Court, on 24th June 2016.

Detective Superintendent Nick Wallen, of West Yorkshire Police, told the hearing it was immediately clear to paramedics and police that the 41-year-old mother of two was "very seriously injured indeed".

Mr Fleming allowed Mrs Cox's body to be released so the family could "get on with the grieving process".
