The BC Coroners Service has announced it will hold a public inquest into the deaths of Angela and Robert Robinson, who were found dead in their Prince Rupert home on April 3, 2014.
Presiding coroner Michael Egilson and a jury will hear evidence and witnesses under oath to determine the facts surrounding the deaths. The jury will then be able to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances.
RCMP had confirmed Angela had taken the life of Robert before taking her own life, with the family putting much of the blame on the lack of services available for autistic children in Prince Rupert.
"A complete assessment of current services and services required are at the forefront of the family's investigation -so that the hopelessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son so that he could live with her forever will not be felt by another family," the family said in a statement at the time.
The date and location for the inquest will be announced once they have been confirmed.
