IIO investigation into Matters death to be reviewed

BC’s Independent Investigations Office has announced an administrative review into the office’s investigation into the 2012 death of Greg Matters.

Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal says the decision was made following a complaint forwarded to him by the deputy attorney general.

He says the complaint raises a number of questions with respect to the investigation into Matter’s death.

Rosenthal says it will be conducted by Vancouver lawyer Mark Jette who will serve as a civilian monitor in the case, and stresses it’s not a re-opening of the investigation.
