Death Must Be Investigated

category national | crime and justice | press release author Tuesday March 07, 2006 16:13author by Joe Lynch - lrisauthor email lris at eircom dot netauthor address 16 Beechgrove Avenue Limerickauthor phone 061 311457 Report this post to the editors

Nouse having the police investigate a death in custody

The death of a man in police custody must be fully examined by an independent agency
if the truth is ever to be revealed

Media information from
Joe Lynch, 16 Beechgrove Avenue,
Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick, Ireland

For the attention of News Editor/Newsroom…..

A full independent investigation into the death of a man
in police custody must be undertaken without delay if the
public is to have any faith restored in the force, a spokesman
for the Limerick Republican Information Service said today.

Joe Lynch from Ballinacurra Weston said that the tragedy must
be examined in details by a person or agency not under the
control or influence of the police force.

“There are many questions to be answered over the death of
this man who was being questioned over serious crime,” said
Mr. Lynch. “But what is being overlooked here is that the man
was innocent and when he was taken to hospital he was a patient,
not a prisoner.

“The fact that the police are appointing a senior officer to hold
an inquiry is not good enough. We have seen too many scandals
and too much police corruption in recent times to allow the
police investigate the police.

“While it is early stages, there are very serious questions to be
asked, but more importantly for the family and the public in
general, the answers have to be full and precise and all the facts
disclosed as soon as possible.

“Death in police custody is becoming increasingly frequent and
the causes and reasons must be fully explored by an independent
agency in the interests of fairness and justice for all concerned.

“There must be no unanswered questions left hanging over the
death of any person in police custody. The time has come for the
establishment of an independent agency along the lines of the police
complaints board and an office of a police ombudsman as there is in
the Six Counties”
