Fresh inquest into dentist murders in the North

The North's Attorney General has ordered a fresh inquest into the deaths of two people murdered by dentist Colin Howell and his lover.

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 on the North’s North Coast. However it later emerged Howell, 52, and Hazel Stewart, 48, gassed their partners and concocted an elaborate story to escape detection.
