The inquest into the death of a Bury woman who died after sustaining horrific burns will resume this summer.

Nosheen Akhtar, 31, died at Wythenshawe Hospital in July 2021 after running from her home on East Street, Bury, on fire.

Assistant Coroner for Manchester North, Lisa Judge, announced last month that that the inquest would be halted until April to allow additional evidence to be gathered.

Rochdale Coroners Court has confirmed the inquest will now resume on Monday, July 17.

Adjourning the inquest, the coroner has asked for extra police body camera footage to be prepared for use by the court and has requested that audio in the footage be enhanced by an independent company.

She has also requested that two police officers who responded to the scene be summoned to provide evidence.

Ms Akhtar, who was also known as Sarah Hussain, sustained burns to 81 per cent of her body after her clothing became alight.

An inquest into her death began at Rochdale Coroners Court in February.

Throughout proceedings, the court heard that Ms Akhtar gave differing accounts to witnesses about what had happened immediately before the fire.

Giving evidence at the beginning of the inquest, North West Ambulance Service paramedics recalled who attended the scene recalled that Nosheen had accused her husband, Waqas Mahmood, of setting the fire that killed her, telling them “he did it.”

Later in the proceedings, the court heard that Nosheen told neighbours at the scene that she had set fire to herself following an argument with her husband.

The inquest continues.
