State agencies have been accused of “deliberately delaying” the release of information about the death of a man killed by loyalists 26 years ago so an inquest cannot be completed.
At a review hearing in the inquest into the death of Sean Brown, coroner Mr Justice Patrick Kinney directed that the delayed proceedings would resume hearing evidence next January and be completed by February.
However, with the process of handing over security force documents around the murder not yet completed, a barrister for the PSNI said he believed the proposed agenda “cannot be met”.
