An inquest has opened into the deaths of a Leicestershire couple killed in a cable car crash near Naples. Elaine and Graeme Winn, who lived in Market Harborough, died alongside two others

after the cable car they were travelling in fell to the ground at Monte Faito on April 17. Area coroner Ivan Cartwright opened an inquest into their deaths at Leicester Town Hall yesterday

(Wednesday, May 21). The inquest was put on hold while authorities in Italy continue to investigate. The cable car crashed in thick woodland in Monte Faito, southern Italy. Local officials

previously said they believed the mountain cable car cabin plunged to the ground after one of the cables supporting it snapped. READ MORE:Drivers warned as new CCTV parking enforcement set

to begin in main Leicester road An investigation over multiple manslaughter and culpable disaster charges has been opened by Italian prosecutors, the Press Association previously reported.

Mr Winn, 64, had recently retired, while Mrs Winn, 58, worked as a business manager at Welland Park Academy in Market Harborough. A school spokesperson described her as "a much-loved

and highly respected member of our school community" after her death. The couple's bodies were repatriated in the days following their deaths and a post-mortem examination was

carried out in Leicestershire. The exact cause of their deaths has been designated as "provisional pending further detail" until the investigation in Italy is completed. Mr

Cartwright did not set a timeframe for the inquest to resume as the date of the next hearing will also depend on the findings of the Italian investigation. WE ARE NOW BRINGING YOU THE LATEST
