AN INQUEST has opened into the death of a Winchester woman due to be sentenced for two burglaries.

The hearing was adjourned after it heard the cause of the death of Louise Abigail Calland, 26, was, as yet, unknown.

Ms Calland, of Pemerton Road, Weeke, had been due for sentencing at Winchester Crown Court yesterday.

Ms Calland had pleaded guilty to a burglary at Black Swan Building in Southgate Street, Winchester, on February 25 when she stole a mountain bike valued at £150.

Also at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court, she had also admitted a burglary at Holywell Close, Farnborough, on July 16, 2014, stealing an electrical adaptor and letting off a fire extinguisher.

The inquest was due to be resumed on January 6.
