AN inquest into the death of a Wyre Forest motorbike enthusiast killed at the Manx TT has started.

Dean Jacob, 33, of Tomkinson Drive, Kidderminster, was killed as he watched the senior race event on the Isle of Man, on June 8 last year.

Motorbike racer Marc Ramsbotham, of Norfolk, also died at the scene while another spectator, Gregory Kenzig, from Queensland, Australia, was confirmed dead at the island's Noble Hospital.

The coroner began a full inquest into the deaths of all three victims at Murray's House in the island's capital, Douglas, today, with proceeding expected to run for three days.
