Fresh inquest into dentist deaths
John Larkin QC wants a review of the case of Trevor Buchanan and Lesley Howell. The original inquest ruled they died from suicide in May 1991. However, it later emerged Howell, aged 52, and Hazel Stewart, aged 48, gassed their partners and concocted an elaborate story to escape detection.
Preliminary hearings are scheduled in Belfast for May 4 when arrangements will be made for a full inquest by senior coroner John Leckey.
