THE inquest into the murder of Concepta Leonard has heard from the detective sergeant in charge of the investigation, as proceedings drew to a close last Monday.
Concepta was killed by Paedar Phair (55) in her Maguiresbridge home on 15 May 2017, who was found in the garage of the property having taken his own life.
She had ended the relationship with Phair who, according to witnesses, had steadily isolated her from family and friends, in what had become a controlling, domestic abuse situation.
Concepta obtained an emergency Non-Molestation Order but Phair breached this several times and the police handling of these incidents were heavily criticised by her family.
