“However those reports do not mean we are closing the case to any other items of inquiry or fresh information that may come into light.

“We forwarded the file to the Director Public Prosecution for review and should other lines of enquiry be identified then we would be seeking further advice from the Magistrate’s court and the coroner as to whether they wanted to conduct further enquiry into that case or whether they are satisfied with that report,” Mr Varley added.
