Father of drowned heiress Paula Leeson wins legal challenge
The father of a wealthy heiress who drowned while on holiday in Denmark has won a High Court challenge over the scope of an inquest into her death.
Mr McPherson, who has always maintained his innocence, was charged after a post-mortem examination revealed blunt force injuries to Ms Leeson's body. But Mr McPherson was cleared at Manchester Crown Court in March 2021, after the trial judge upheld a submission of no case to answer on the basis that the jury could not be sure on the medical evidence which of the two scenarios was more likely.The couple were on holiday in the small Danish town of Norre Nebel in 2017
Giving the High Court's decision, Lord Justice Dingemans quashed the coroner's ruling on the scope of the inquest, saying it was "not a lawful one".
