An inquest has heard that a draft report on the killing of a young man by gardaí in west Dublin two years ago has been compiled by investigators with the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission.

A brief sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Thursday heard an update on the progress of the investigation by Gsoc into the death of George Nkencho (27) who was fatally wounded by members of the Garda Armed Support Unit outside his family home at Manorfields Drive, Clonee, Co Dublin, on December 30, 2020.
