AN INQUEST is to be held into the death of rail worker Belly Mujinga, more than a year after she died of Covid-19 after being spat at while working at London’s Victoria station.

North London Coroner Andrew Walker ruled yesterday that there was reason to suspect that Ms Mujinga’s death was “unnatural.”

The move was welcomed by her union, TSSA, which described it as “a step forward in the fight for justice.”
