European court rejects application from Belfast woman whose son was killed by RUC officer

The European Court of Human Rights' decision on Thursday said it did not have jurisdiction over the case as no new evidence had come to light.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has rejected an application from a Belfast woman whose son was shot and killed by an RUC officer in 1992.

Pearse Jordan was shot dead by an RUC officer after the stolen car he was driving was involved in a collision with a police vehicle on Belfast’s Falls Road in 1992.
