Riot death inquest now in doubt
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) may have material “that it could not properly disclose to a coroner” over the decision by officers to shoot Mark Duggan, North London Coroners’ Court was told yesterday.
A coroner’s officer said a provisional date of 28 January has been set for proceedings – but only if the eight-week inquest is given the go-ahead during a review on 23 October.
An alternative could be a special inquiry where some evidence is heard behind closed-doors, it is understood.
