My Justine deserves to have justice

- PERRY DUFFIN

THE father of an Australian woman shot and killed by a US policeman earlier this year is “deeply concerned” the inquiry into Justine Damond’s death may have been mishandled.

John Ruszczyk said relatives met with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehensi­on and police officers soon after Ms Damond was shot in Minneapoli­s in July and officials promised to get to the truth.

But Minneapoli­s’ top prosecutor, Mike Freeman, said last week he did not have enough evidence to charge the police officer who shot Ms Damond.

“We are deeply concerned about the possibilit­y that the initial investigat­ion was not done properly and with the greatest integrity or sense of completene­ss,” Mr Ruszczyk said.

“We are apprehensi­ve that perhaps the BCA has not fulfilled its promise.”
