Coroner inquest into Hanover Square death opens

摘要

An inquest has opened into the death of a pedestrian killed by falling window frames near a construction site in London's Hanover Square. Forty-four year old solicitor Amanda Telfer died on 30 August after being pinned to the ground by two 13ft-by-13ft window frames next to 5 Hanover Street - a commercial and retail project by developer Stanhope - the ground floor of which was being fitted out as a gallery. At a hearing on Wednesday, Westminster coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox heard that the solid wood frames each weighed around half a tonne and had been propped on the pavement.
