Inquest into death of Scots RAF gunner Corrie McKeague to be heard by jury

An inquest into the death of Scots RAF gunner Corrie McKeague, who vanished after a night out in 2016, will be heard next month.

Suffolk’s senior coroner Nigel Parsley ruled that matters of evidence, discussed during legal argument, should not be reported until after the inquest so as not to ­influence the jury.

The full inquest, listed for four weeks, is set to begin on March 7.

McKeague, from Dunfermline, was 23 when he vanished in the early hours of September 24, 2016, after a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Suffolk Police believe he climbed into a bin which was tipped into a waste lorry.

McKeague was reported missing by colleagues at RAF Honington.
