Lord Justice Pil,l Mr Justice Newman
Coroners, Armed Forces
The deceased was killed by "friendly fire" during a night exercise in Kenya. A verdict of accidental death was returned, and a fresh inquest was sought particularly in the light of a statement from a fellow officer. Held: The emergence of fresh evidence, even if it is in part evidence which should have disclosed to the Coroner at the inquest, is not determinative of the question whether there should be another inquest. The court was not persuaded that the interests of justice called for a fresh inquest.
