Rossiter inquest adjourned until release of report

THE inquest into the death of Brian Rossiter, who died two days after falling unconscious while in Garda custody, was further adjourned yesterday following a request from his family to await the publication of an independent inquiry into the circumstances of his death.

The Rossiter family asked Cork City Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane to delay the full inquest into the death in 2002 of their 14-year-old son to allow her consider evidence that will be in the Hartnett Inquiry.

The family’s only interest is that they get to the truth behind the death of their son, their solicitor Cian O’Carroll said.
