Comment on this
I am aware of the circumstances of this tragic case and I am informed that the report on the re-examination undertaken by the local authorities into this matter has been forwarded to the family in question. As previously advised by my Department, if the family are dissatisfied with the outcome of that re-examination they may wish to engage the services of a lawyer in both jurisdictions to advise on the options now open to the family to pursue the case further.
