Policing agency to defend homicide handling

Josephine Feehily will say that the concerns expressed by the analysts — Lois West and Laura Galligan — were “already known to us before their contact”.
Ms Feehily will also argue that following her body’s intervention, 12 out of 41 cases highlighted have been upgraded to homicide by gardaí. In addition, she will tell the Oireachtas justice committee that a further 16 cases “had some change made to their classification, meaning that only 13 are unchanged”.
