Family remember Norfolk GP killed at home near Sandringham Estate
Dr Hannah Cain, 45, a GP who treated members of the Royal Family including Queen Camilla, was found unconscious and not breathing in an upstairs bedroom of her home in Dersingham, Norfolk, in the early hours of Sunday. Her husband Mark Cain, 45, has been charged with her murder and appeared before Norwich Magistrates' Court, where he was remanded in custody to appear at King's Lynn Crown Court. The case has shocked the local community, particularly given its proximity to the Sandringham Estate and the fact that children were in the house at the time.
Post-mortem examination revealed that Dr Cain sustained a blunt-force injury to the right side of her head and a possible compression injury to her neck. Her husband initially reported an injury he had sustained in what was described as a suspected robbery, with the ambulance service called at 2:25am on Sunday. Dr Cain was a respected GP at Grimston Medical Centre and also ran Norfolk Sky Aesthetics; she was part of a pool of doctors regularly available to Royal Family members staying at Sandringham, and colleagues have described her as an "exceptional doctor" and "deeply valued member of the NHS."
