OTTERY ST MARY: Inquest into boy's death reopens

THE inquest into the death of an 11-year-old boy who died whilst in respite care nearly nine years ago has finally re-opened.

 

Adrian Pullman, who was from Ottery St Mary and had learning difficulties, was found in a swimming pool only hours after his family had left him with carers at Little Farm, Southleigh in August 2003.

Evidence was heard during the first day of the re-opened hearing, which started more than eight years ago, earlier this week.

Adrian’s father, Roger Pullman, said that he hoped “things are on the change now” because the hearing had resumed.

He said: “It’s very important. Hopefully it will mean I can put things behind me and move on with my life now.”

The inquest in Exeter, due to last three weeks, continues.
