dailyrecord.co.ukA young couple who were found dead in a secluded area of woodland were buried together, an inquest has heard. Charlie Eccleston, 19, and Zaiga Gravenieks, 20, were found by a police dog in Shenley, England, on the morning of November 5, 2017.
The pair, who had not been seen since going missing on Halloween, were tracked to the area using the last known location of Zaiga’s mobile phone.
An inquest into their death heard how Zaiga’s arm had been found cradled around Charlie’s shoulder. According to the Mirror, “Towards eternity” and “4 Ever” had been spray painted on a heart symbol near to where the bodies were found.
It is believed that a taxi had dropped them off near the woodland. A post-mortem examination found they died from asphyxia. In a statement read to the senior Hertfordshire coroner Geoffrey Sullivan, Charlie’s mother Jo said: “They lived together, died together and at their request were buried together.”The mum from Borehamwood told how Charlie had struggled with his mental health since the age of 12.
