The family of George Nkencho has said that those accountable for the Dubliner's death "should face the full extent of the law" after GSOC confirmed it has completed it's criminal investigation.
The Garda Ombudsman forwarded the file to the Officer of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) today after finishing an independent criminal investigation into the death of Mr Nkencho. The 27-year-old was shot dead by an armed garda outside his family home in west Dublin on December 30, 2020.
A report from GSOC said it sought to complete the investigation as quickly as possible as it was "acutely aware that the events of December 30, 2020, and their consequences have been extremely traumatic to the Nkencho family". The report said it had identified some areas of live operational risk for the gardai.
