<p>The Surrey Senior Coroner has carried out a full investigation into the sad circumstances
surrounding Zane Gbangbola's death, taking into account a considerable amount of evidence.
The Coroner, as an independent judicial office holder, drew his own conclusions based
on this evidence.</p><p>If there is a belief that the evidence was not considered
properly during the original inquest, or that there is new evidence available, an
application can be made to the Attorney General asking her to apply to the High Court
to quash the inquest and order a fresh investigation. The High Court would take this
course of action if it believed that it would be in the interests of justice. We are
not aware that any such application has been made.</p><p>I believe that this remains
the proper process to follow. An assessment of the merits of an inquiry should be
made at the appropriate time if, and when, the legal processes have been exhausted.</p>
