The family of a woman found dead at her home have won a High Court battle for a fresh inquest following an "inadequate" police investigation.

Two judges quashed the original inquest into the death of Joanne Foreman, 41, of Horsford, Norfolk, in March 2011.

The inquest failed to determine the cause of Ms Foreman's death.

Lord Justice Pitchford, who heard the case with Judge Peter Thornton, said it was in the "interests of justice" that a new inquest be held.

He said it was common ground to all sides that the police investigation into the circumstances of Ms Foreman's death at St Helena Way, Horsford, was "inadequate".
