An inquest into the death of a teenager who died nearly four years ago has been delayed, a court heard.

Maisie Newell, 13, died in Terrington St Clement, near King's Lynn, on June 28, 2014 and an inquest was opened on July 4, 2014.

In an inquest review hearing at King's Lynn coroner's court this morning, area coroner Yvonne Blake said the case has been taken over by another detective sergeant.

Ms Blake added that this has delayed matters and so it is not yet ready for an inquest.

Ms Blake adjourned the inquest for another paper review on Friday, May 25.
