It has taken more than three years for an inquest to take place into the death of Andrew 'Ed' Walch
Spanish authorities "hampered' a coroner's investigation into the killing of a British man knifed to death, and inquest held earlier this week heard.
At the outset of Monday's inquest, Area Coroner Kate Bisset said: "In this case we have been hampered by the authorities of the country in which Andrew sadly died so my investigation has been much more limited. I have no legal power to get those people here so I am sorry I can't get them before us." In statements provided to the coroner, Spanish police revealed that Nicol had admitted stabbing Ed. The court heard it had been suggested there was an attempted robbery at the apartment prior to the night Ed was killed, and as a result Nicol said he had been acting in self-defence.It is unclear to UK authorities why this decision was made. The only way a prosecution can be restarted in Spain would be if Ed's family paid for it.
The judge in Tenerife later stayed the prosecution against Nicol due to "quirks" in the Spanish legal system regarding his argument of self-defence. The coroner, a legally qualified criminal barrister herself, said: "Although it seems unbelievable it cannot be rejected... in this country that would have been put before a jury."
