Jeremy Chipperfield

Jeremy Chipperfield is a senior coroner presiding over inquests in County Durham, UK. He is newsworthy due to his involvement in two recent high-profile cases. One case involves the skeletal remains of a baby, discovered wrapped in 1910 newspaper, with the inquest aiming to determine the circumstances of the child's death, potentially dating back centuries. The other case concerns the death of Ian Huntley, the Soham murderer, who died in prison after being attacked. Chipperfield is overseeing the inquest into Huntley's death, which is examining the circumstances surrounding the attack and subsequent death of the convicted killer. His role as coroner ensures that these deaths are thoroughly investigated and that the facts surrounding them are established.
