Sky News reporter Martin Brunt has told
the Brenda Leyland inquest that he
traced her from a police dossier using
basic Internet search techniques.
He and a cameraman waited outside her
house and approached her. When Brunt
asked her why she was saying things
about the McCanns she replied "I'm
entitled to."
After the confrontation on camera Brunt
stayed in Burton Overy to get shots.
He approached her again later same day
and she invited him in for an off camera
chat.
Brunt told the inquest Leyland told him
she tweeted about McCanns because she
had concerns about fundraising.

"She
seemed relaxed - I offered
her the opportunity to do a
full interview but she
declined. I told Brenda
Leyland we would use the
"engagement" we'd had
outside on camera.....she
seemed to accept that. After
our meeting Leyland told me
over the phone, prior to the
news item being aired 'oh I
have thought about ending it
all but I'm feeling better
now - I've had a drink and
I've spoken to my son in
LA.' I was devastated to
find out that Brenda Leyland
was dead."
