Detective says weapons found before Gracie Spinks death ‘clearly a concern’

A detective chief inspector told an inquest that “no one” who saw the contents of a rucksack found weeks before the death of a young woman could “reasonably argue they were not weapons that could cause serious harm”.

Detective Chief Inspector Claudia Musson, from Derbyshire Constabulary, told the inquest into the death of Gracie Spinks that the bag, which had three knives, a hammer, an axe, Viagra and a note saying ‘don’t lie’ in it, found on May 6 2021 – weeks before Gracie was stabbed to death on June 18 2021 – showed intent to carry out sexual violence.
