On review the High Court set aside the Coroner's Open Verdict and found on the balance of probabilities that the deceased's death resulted from misuse of police power and not from lawful self-defence; that material evidential deficiencies (absence of trajectory report, shell casings, GSR, DNA/fingerprints) and admitted departure from IGSO undermined the police account and warranted referral to prosecuting authorities.
