In London last night the coroner's inquest returned a verdict of wilful murder in the case of Ursula Moore killed alongside Mr Levinge in Inner-Temple Lane. It was revealed that the younger Levinge had been ill, took medicine heavily, planned to go to Bath for recovery, and after breakfast the trio confronted danger.
