Husband of royal family doctor charged with murder after body found in home. Court hearing details revealed.
POLICY WIRE — Dersingham, United Kingdom — A man has been charged with the murder of a doctor who served the royal family after her body was discovered at her residence in Fern Hill early Sunday morning.
Mark Cain, 45, appeared in Norwich Magistrates’ Court wearing a black sweater and only provided his name, address, and date of birth without entering a plea. He was arrested following the discovery of Dr. Hannah Cain’s body at her home in the early hours of October 4.
The prosecution stated that emergency services contacted police at 2:25 a.m., and Dr. Cain was found unresponsive in an upstairs bedroom. A post-mortem revealed blunt force trauma to the right side of her head and possible neck compression. The court was also informed that children were present in the house at the time.
Dr. Hannah Cain, known professionally as Dr. Hannah Terry, was a member of the Grimston Medical Centre in King’s Lynn, which has long served the royal family. She had treated Queen Camilla during her stays at Sandringham Estate, according to reports. The clinic closed for two days due to the emotional impact on its staff.
