A man was found dead in his Blackpool flat after a neighbour called 999 saying she could see a woman, covered in blood, crawling around on the floor half naked. Graham John Kent choked to death on his own vomit after allegedly hitting his girlfriend over the head with a hammer, an inquest has heard.
Police found Mr Kent's girlfriend, Jennifer, with a head injury which she said he had inflicted with a hammer after being called to the flat on August 2, 2021, LancsLive reports.
Believing Mr Kent, 37, had barricaded himself alone inside the flat at Mickleden Road, police waited for back-up before attempting to force entry. When they got inside, at around 12.30am, they found him on the floor not breathing.
