A date has now been set for the inquest into Leah Croucher's death, to take place at Milton Keynes Coroner’s Court.
The news follows a pre-inquest review into the death of Leah Croucher, which took place in Milton Keynes today (18/1).
Three years and eight months after a missing persons case was opened, Thames Valley Police announced a murder investigation had been launched in connection with the Leah Croucher investigation, after her remains were found at an address on Loxbeare Drive in Furzton, Milton Keynes.
Leah’s inquest will take place on 19th and 20th June 2024.
Leah’s family have released a brief statement following the pre-inquest review.
The family said: “Today went as expected, and we are happy to have a date for Leah’s inquest.
“There is a lot of information yet to be shared to us and our legal representation.
“We are looking forward to seeing that.
“We have nothing further to say at the moment.”
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: “Thames Valley Police has completed its investigation into the death of Leah Croucher and a file has been submitted to the Coroner for their consideration within the coronial process.
“As these are active coronial proceedings, it is not appropriate for us to comment further on the investigation until the inquest process has been concluded, so as not to prejudice any findings.
“On behalf of Leah’s family, we would ask that their privacy is continued to be respected.”
