The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been investigating the shooting on 4 August, 2011. 'Seriously let down'
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been investigating the shooting which happened on 4 August, 2011.
Michael Mansfield QC representing Mr Duggan's family expressed the family's frustration that it will be almost two years later that the full facts around his death are heard by a jury.
He said the family had been "seriously let down".
At a pre-inquest review at Barnet Coroner's Court, Ashley Underwood QC outlined the facts that will need to be established.
These include:
  • Was each of the shots fired at Mr Duggan absolutely necessary?
  • Why was the pistol not seized from the man said to have sold it to Mr Duggan?
  • Was Mr Duggan's intention to kill someone?
  • Why was he not stopped as soon as he had taken delivery of the gun?
Mr Underwood said important ballistics and scientific research still had to be done.
Mr Mansfield criticised the delay and said there had been "serious misdemeanours" in the investigation of the case.
Mr Duggan's mother, Pamela Duggan, who had to leave the court upset when details of her son's wounds were read out, said: "I want justice for my son.
"We need to be able to move on in our lives - not that it's ever going to be the same again - and we can't keep coming back to these places for nothing."
