GEORGE Nkencho was shot twice in the back by armed gardai, a preliminary pathology report has found.

A pathologist hired by the family’s solicitor found one wound that entered his lower back and exited his upper right chest.

Mr Nkencho’s State-conducted postmortem found he was shot six times with an interim cause of death believed to be two fatal gunshots to vital organs.

The 27-year-old died in the front garden of his family home in Clonee, West Dublin, at around 12.35 pm on December 30.

Professor Jack Crane, the former State Pathologist for Northern Ireland, conducted a preliminary postmortem into Mr. Nkencho’s death at Dublin City Mortuary.
