“Families must have confidence in this investigative process and therefore the intervention of the Police Ombudsman is to be welcomed.

“The heart-broken families of the three teenagers have a right to expect a full, thorough and comprehensive investigation.

“It is important nothing distracts from this process and that the investigation refocuses on determining what happened so the families get the necessary answers.”
