@imb4u2 Said A second inquest will be held into the death of Lance Cpl Brice Fotheringham-Shortby who was killed in the battle of Somme in WW1. 10,999 other soldiers were killed in that battle and though the British court say it will be tough to establish all the facts in this death they are determined to do just that.
The findings of the first inquest was that he was struck by a 200 Lb bomb and blown apart but the English press has maintained that it was a 150 Lb bomb and because of these rumours inquests will be held endlessly until the cause of death can be exactly determined.
Fatheringham-Shortby was the son of the Earl of Swain-Scottsborough and although Lord Fatheringham-Shortby has been dead since 1929, the feeling in the family is that the matter of his son's death has never been properly resolved and while it is known that it was by a bomb, the court also will try to establish if the intent of the pilot of the bomber was intentionally targeting him or just dropped the bomb indiscriminately, not caring who he killed.
There are also rumours to the effect that Brice Fotheringham-Shortby had, while in Berlin in 1912 had fathered a child by the Chancellor's daughter, Hilda Von Auchersrout and his subsequent death was an act of revenge by the pilot, a cousin of Hilda Von Auchersrout.
The British courts have no concern about the other 10,999 soldiers killed in that same battle but are determined that the truth has to be known in the case of Lance Cpl Brice Fotheringham-Shortby but have said that inquests will be held for all 10,999 soldiers if that would help to establish the truth in Lance Cpl Brice Fotheringham-Shortby's death.
The Grand-daughter of Hilda Von Auchersrout will be the first wittness in this inquest and DNA testing of The Grand-daughter of Hilda Von Auchersrout and almost the entire population of Germany will be necessary to determine her linage. This is an expensive measure but said by the British courts to be necessary to the pursuit of justice in the death of an English Peer.
Whats that got to do with anything
anyway, hasnt they allready had countless inquests
