Inquest into shooting of Yassar Yaqub by police on M62 put back

An inquest into the death of a man shot by police on a motorway has been put back several months to ensure "all angles are considered".The inquest was provisionally due to be held in January 2022 - five years after his death.Judge Guy Kearl QC, who is Recorder of Leeds, will sit as a coroner for the jury inquest.

He told a pre-inquest review held at Leeds Crown Court earlier: "I am very conscious about the time that has expired since the event itself. "However, it is important that this is a matter that is dealt with properly, that all angles are considered, and that the family and all the interested parties receive the material to which they are entitled."

It follows an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct , which found no evidence officers behaved in a way that would justify disciplinary proceedings.
