The first witness is expected to be the senior detective who led the police investigation.
Lucraft is expected to examine Masood’s background and police records as well as look at his brief appearance in MI5 investigations in 2009 and 2010.
The QC is also expected to look at how well Palmer was protected, both by his body armour and by armed officers serving in Westminster.
A psychologist has also been asked to prepare a “psychological autopsy” in Masood.
