Mr Woodcock, a council highways officer, had dashed to help after hearing screams from the first-floor flat in Denmead in Milton Keynes, Bucks. Inquests into the deaths of Mr Woodcock and Mr Igweani were opened at two separate hearings yesterday. Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Blaik said: 'A female and a young child had managed to flee the address prior to police arrival. 'And they were also aware of a distressed young child within the address,' he said. Mr Osborne said he knew that Mr Woodcock was 'a very popular man' within Milton Keynes Council.
