Coroner Peter Ryan on day one of the inquest into Janet Nye’s death in India in 2018.
“He did not once mention Jan’s name, acknowledge her passing, nor mention the circumstances of her death,” Young said.

“Joe replied that ‘it was Jan’s fault. She made some bad decisions and they cost her her life’. His response distressed us terribly,” Young said.
