AN inquest into the death of Bournemouth teenager Jack Gudge is due to start today.

Assistant Dorset coroner Richard Middleton will hear details about the 17-year-old's final hours in a hearing, set to last for three days.

The first two days will be held at Weymouth magistrates' court to allow for child witnesses to give evidence via video link.

The final day of the hearing is set to take place at Bournemouth town hall.

Jack, of Pilot Hight Road, died on Saturday July 16 2016 after an altercation outside Tesco Express in Wimborne Road, Winton.

Three men aged 27, 24 and 21, along with a 15-year-old boy, were arrested on suspicion of murder following the incident. They were later released with no further action taken by police.

Jack's parents, Jolene Keenan and Chris Gudge, are expected to attend the inquest along with other family members and friends.
