The deaths of Mr Walgate, 23, from Hull, and Mr Taylor, 25, from Dagenham, had been treated as non-suspicious.
Judge Sarah Munro is to preside over inquests into all four deaths in front of a jury at Barking Town Hall." - direct section lifted from original article

- The farm has many animals including cows, horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a kookaburra
- It is a free facility, but never reopened after the coronavirus lockdown leading to Newham Council wanting to permanently close it
- "An independent inspection for the council last November revealed “a number of issues relating to the condition of some of the animals” according to a council spokesperson. Two members of staff were suspended and legal proceedings are active." quote from The Guardian. However local's have said that they don't believe this for a second and think it is another excuse to close the farm.
- Locals say it is crucial to their community, allowing urban kids to interact with animals as well as helping some people with special needs.
