GSOC HAS CONFIRMED its investigation into the death of Derry woman Rebecca Browne has been redesignated and will now seek to establish whether the actions of An Garda Síochána relating to the incident were criminal in nature.

The investigation originally set out to determine if the actions of the Gardaí had amounted to a breach of discipline but now it will ascertain whether the actions amounted to a criminal offence.“The family of Ms Browne have had concerns surrounding the tragedy from the outset and“We will continue to work closely with the family to ensure a full and proper investigation is carried out.”
