The parents of a teenager murdered by her ex-boyfriend after she repeatedly reported him to police for stalking today lost a High Court bid for a full inquest into her death.
Shana Grice was 19 when she was killed by Michael Lane at her home in Brighton, East Sussex, in August 2016.
She had reported Lane, who was jailed for life after being found guilty of her murder, to officers five times in the six months before her death but was fined for wasting police time.
At a remote High Court hearing earlier in December, lawyers representing Ms Grice s mother Sharon challenged the decision of the senior coroner for Brighton and Hove not to conduct a full inquest.
