Justin Skrebowski
AN INQUEST into the death of a father-of-two fatally stabbed in Poundland could be delayed until February.
Oxford art dealer Justin Skrebowski was shopping for balloons for his wife's birthday at the Abingdon store on December 7, 2015, when he was attacked by schizophrenic drug addict Trevor Joyce.
At a pre-inquest hearing at Oxford Coroner's Court yesterday Oxfordshire coroner Darren Salter said it was 'doubtful' that a five-day hearing would be viable to proceed as planned on November 13 due to the volume of witnesses and evidence.
