dr James Adeley, Lancashire’s chief coroner, warned those present not to disrupt the proceedings – which were due to last at least five days – after there were “unusual online comments” about Ms Bulley’s death.
“If anyone has the slightest inclination, or contemplates, to interfere with this investigation, they should be aware that doing so may amount to contempt of court,” he said.
The coroner added that the consequences could be “a substantial fine or jail time.”
