A DATE has been set for an inquest in to the death of murdered nursery assistant Amanda Edwards.

Amanda's body was found on a Malmesbury building site in April 2004 a week after she disappeared.

The family of the 21-year-old, who live in Purton, hope it will help them understand more about what led to her death.

The inquest, due to be held on June 22 and 23 in either Swindon or Devizes, will also record a verdict on the reason for Ian Cortis's death.

Cortis, who is believed to have killed Amanda was found hanged at his father-in-law's home in Woodsage Close, Calne.

Amanda studied childcare at Swindon College before going to work at the Little Foxes Nursery, in Brinkworth, near Wootton Bassett.
