Climbing death

An inquest into the death of Caroline Mayorcas, who fell while climbing in the Alps, was told that foul play had been ruled out. Mrs Mayorcas, 45, of Chiswick, west London, was roped to Hann Redwin - also known as Andrew Newton, who figured in the 1979 trial of the former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe. A formal verdict could not be returned because she died abroad.
