He was found hanged in his prison cell at HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire on May 27, 2022, and died the following day, aged 41.

Pc James Langford, of Dyfed-Powys Police, told the inquest a postmortem examination carried out at the University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff, found that Mrs Fraser died from "multiple sharp-force injuries including a cut throat".

She was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.52am.
