INQUEST: Tony Couchman
AN inquest into the death of a father who died two days before he was due to stand trial charged with murdering his teenage daughter is due to take place today.
Tony Couchman, 47, of Beecham Place, St Leonards, slashed his wrists in his cell in Lewes Prison in January 2010.
In 2009 he had been charged with killing Vicki Couchman, 19, whose remains were found in woodland in St Leonards in October 2008.
The three-day inquest into his death will take place in Eastbourne Town Hall. An inquest into Vicki’s death will take place later this year in Hastings.
