THE inquest into the death of Evelyn Lund, who was killed by her husband in France, is set to take place today.
Robert Lund was jailed for 12 years earlier this year after a French jury found him guilty of killing his wife.
Lund, 55, killed Evelyn, 52, after a row at their home in the village of La Veaute on December 29, 1999.
He then dumped her body, inside her Toyota 4x4, in a nearby lake, where it stayed undiscovered for 22 months.
Lund was cleared of murder, which means that the jury did not accept that he intended to kill her.
The couple lived in Darwen before moving to France. Mrs Lund was originally from Rossendale and had lived in Burnley with her first husband.
The inquest, which takes place in Blackburn, is expected to reflect the findings of the trial.
