Update (24 October)

The RCIPS wishes to clarify that the identity of the victim of the fatal collision which occurred on Friday, 21 October in East End, has not yet been formally established. As such, no confirmation of the identity of the victim should have been released by the RCIPS.

The Commissioner of Police sincerely apologizes for the error made in prematurely identifying the victim, and for the distress this publication has understandably caused to the grieving family.
