High Court to hear challenge to Jenkins’ verdict

 

The coroner’s court said last month it was unable to determine how Anna Jenkins died and what could have caused her death due to a lack of evidence.

GEORGE TOWN: A challenge brought by the family of deceased Australian national Anna Jenkins against a coroner’s verdict over her death has been fixed for mention on Aug 7 at the High Court here, the family’s lawyers revealed.

On May 12, coroner Norsalha Hamzah concluded a lengthy inquest by delivering an open verdict, after failing to determine what caused Jenkins’ death.

In a brief response, law firm Jerald Gomez and associates told FMT that the family’s application to review the verdict had been accepted and will now go through a full hearing.
