Family of murdered Ann Maguire lose challenge on calling evidence from pupils

The family of teacher Ann Maguire have lost their challenge against a coroner's decision not to call evidence from pupils who had contact with her schoolboy killer immediately before the murder.

Mrs Maguire's husband Don, children and nephews - who were not at London's High Court for the ruling on Monday - wanted Mr Justice Holroyde to order the decision taken by assistant West Yorkshire coroner Kevin McLoughlin to be reconsidered.
