The Inquest Into the Murders of Lorraine Wilson and Wendy Wilson
Lorraine Wilson's family had tried to move on with their lives, but the lack of closure made it impossible. By 2012, Lorraine's father was suffering from dementia and her brother Eric wanted answers not only for himself, but for his elderly parents. With all the new information that had come to light since the initial inquest in 1985, the Wilson family felt that Lorraine and Wendy at the very least deserved another inquest. Media rallied around Eric Wilson, propelling the murders back in the headlines. The coroner succumbed to the public pressure, and it was announced that a new inquest would be held with the aim of determining whether there was enough evidence to warrant a trial.
