Garda: Dwayne Foster was ‘conscious at all times’

A GARDA who arrested Dwayne Foster, who was found unresponsive in Garda custody, has told an inquest that he was conscious at all times, that the three suspects in the house may have been in possession of a firearm, and that gardaí had to secure them immediately.

Mr Foster, aged 24, of Woodbank Avenue, Finglas, Dublin, was detained at Coolock Garda Station for questioning, in relation to the fatal shooing of mother- of-one Donna Cleary, when he was discovered unresponsive on March 7, 2006.

A postmortem by the deputy state pathologist Dr Michael Curtis found Mr Foster died from methadone intoxication.
