George Nkencho family react as GSOC sends file to DPP over fatal garda shooting

The family of George Nkencho say GSOC's decision to send a file on his fatal shooting by a Garda to the Director of Public Prosecutions brings them a "sense of relief and hope".

The DPP will now examine the file on the probe and will decide if the garda who shot Mr Nkencho will face any prosecution.

Mr Nkencho, 27, was killed outside his west Dublin home in December 2020 after being shot multiple times by members of a Garda armed support unit while allegedly brandishing a knife.
