An inquest into the murder of Gracie Spinks by Michael Sellers. A bag of weapons, including knives, an axe, and a hammer, potentially linked to Sellers, was found six weeks before the murder.

A receipt in the bag, dated April 29, 2021, connected it to Sellers' father, raising questions. CCTV footage from the purchase date could identify the buyer with proper authorization.

Police collected the bag from a dog walker who reported it, and it contained various items, including weapons. Sellers had purchased knives online, one of which may have been used in the murder. The ongoing inquest aims to uncover more details about the case.
