THE post mortem examination of the body of triple murder suspect Jed Allen, 21, has revealed he died as a result of hanging.

The body of Allen was found in woodland near Marston Ferry Lane on May 25.

Thames Valley Police had been trying to trace Allen after his half-sister Derin Jordon, six, mother Janet Jordon, 48, and Philip Howard, 44, were found dead in their home in Vicarage Road, Didcot on May 23.

TVP spokeswomen Connie Primer confirmed the post mortem for Jed Allen gave a provisional cause of death as hanging.

Oxford Coroner’s Court will open inquests into the deaths of Janet Jordon, Derin Jordon and Philip Howard.

Post-mortem examinations revealed all three died of multiple stab wounds.

A coroner will also open an inquest into the death of Jed Allen, 21, who was the only police suspect in the murder investigation.
