INVESTIGATION and INQUEST 

On 25 April 2019 I commenced an investigation into the death of Hedley Frederick 
ROBINSON aged 86.  The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 01 December 
2021.  The conclusion of the inquest was: 

Unlawful Killing 

4  CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH 

The deceased died as a result of multiple stab wounds inflicted at 
, 
Newport Pagnell on 24th March 2019.  He was transferred to Milton Keynes University 
Hospital on 5th April 2019 and died on 14th April 2019. 

5  CORONER’S CONCERNS 

During the course of the investigation my inquiries revealed matters giving rise to concern. 
In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken.  In the 
circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you. 

The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows: 
(brief summary of matters of concern) 

I am concerned that the S.136 Mental Health Act assessment was conducted without full 
information held by CNWL or discussion with senior police officers and others who had been 
involved in the care of the deceased’s assailant. There needs to be an urgent review of the 
operation of S. 136 procedures in Milton Keynes. 

6  ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN 

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you (and/or 
your organisation) have the power to take such action. 

7  YOUR RESPONSE 

You are under a duty to respond to this report within 56 days of the date of this report,
