Inquest into boy’s death in Garda custody adjourned indefinitely

THE inquest into the death of schoolboy Brian Rossiter, who died after being in Garda custody six years ago, has been adjourned indefinitely.

The case was listed for mention yesterday at Cork Coroner’s Court for the first time since Brian’s parents, Patrick and Siobhán, settled High Court proceedings in relation to the inquest.

They had sought an order restraining Cork City Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane from proceeding with the inquest unless she agreed to hear evidence from witnesses they wished to call, including two independent forensic scientists.
