originally ruled as being due to an aneurysm. A dispute arose about Caroline Devlins' autopsy between Sussex Police and the coroner. The police refused to pay for a Home Office pathologist because they only wanted a "routine" examination performed. As the circumstances around her death were unexplained, the Worthing pathologist wanted a Home Office pathologist to do a more thorough examination. There existed a state of distrust between the county pathologist and the police force to do with previous requests to do with deaths in unexplained circumstances. Caroline Devlins' post mortem was carried out four days after her death due to the dispute, as compared to two days in the case of Susan Nicholson. Susan Nicholson Trigg met Susan Nicholson after both attended alcohol rehabilitation in July 2010. They started dating in November that year before he moved into her flat that December. Neighbour Hannah Cooper saw Susan suffering from injuries on four occasions and contacted police to report fights.

They criticised the original investigation by Sussex Police and criticised the force for ignoring their pleas to reinvestigate their daughters' death. Trial The trial was held in Lewes Crown Court and lasted ten days. Trigg denied any
