PSNI 'uncooperative' in fatal shooting probe

Crucial intelligence was wiped from a computer and police officers were uncooperative during an investigation into the first fatal shooting carried out by the PSNI, the Ombudsman said today.

A report by Police Ombudsman in the North Nuala O’Loan had no criticism to make of the police officer who fired the fatal shots which killed 21-year-old Neil McConville in April 2003 outside Lisburn because another officer’s life was in danger.
