The heartbroken family of a young Dubliner shot dead by a police officer in America today revealed they will never get justice for his killing.

The sister of an Irishman shot dead by a US police officer insisted her brother had not posed a threat, despite a grand jury ruling backing the officer.

The sister of a young man from Ireland killed by a US policeman said today her family had doubts about the officer’s account of the shooting.

The body of Andrew Hanlon, the Irish man shot dead in the US last week, is expected to be flown home to Ireland this weekend.

Relatives of an Irishman killed by police in the US state of Oregon viewed the body and said he was shot at least seven times.
