Katie Simpson Inquest Deep Dive
Description
Katie Simpson, a promising 21-year-old showjumper, died in August 2020 — initially ruled a suicide — but the case took a shocking turn when her sister’s partner, Jonathan Creswell, was arrested for murder in 2021. Though Creswell’s trial concluded last April, he died suddenly before verdicts were delivered. Now, coroner Joe McCrisken is set to lead an inquest into Katie’s death, wading through over 3,500 police files — possibly 29,000 pages — including reports, statements, and interviews. The family’s grief and the legal delays have stretched into years, while the court waits for a judge’s ruling on which documents can be redacted — a process expected to take 12 weeks before the inquest resumes on November 4th.
