Southend Inquest into Student Pilot Death

Can anybody help me here?

On Tuesday this week the inquest opened at Southend into the death of a 16 yr old student pilot on his second solo in 2006 at Southend Airport.

He was told in non-standard ATC terms to break off his approach on final in favour of a faster a/c approaching behind him.

He crashed shortly after and was killed.

The Inquest was covered on local TV on Tuesday and continued yesterday.

Coverage by the media has ceased today and there was nothing in today's papers.

Does anyone know if the Inquest is still continuing: If not anybody know what the verdict was?

Cheers
