An inquest is examining the deaths of Zena Hoskins, 77, and her husband David Hoskins, 80, who were found dead at their home in September last year. The couple, who were married for more than 50 years, were discovered at their £825,000 property. According to the inquest information reported by one outlet, David Hoskins had Alzheimer’s and battered his wife to death with a hammer. The same report says that after killing her, he hanged himself. The reports provide details of the couple’s ages, their long-term marriage, and the location and value of their home, but do not include additional information about witnesses, a motive, or whether any safeguarding concerns were raised prior to the deaths. The inquest continues to consider the circumstances surrounding what the reports describe as a domestic incident followed by suicide.
