The hearing heard how Regina Martin, who runs the Devonport Road guest house with her partner Saeed, found a first floor kitchen window "wide open" one February morning.

She closed the window but then "screamed" as she spotted Mr Moore's body lying in the garden below. The inquest heard how police suspected Mr Moore had not died instantly but had stumbled into bushes, dying a short time later.
