Media release | Published 8 May 2024

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions sympathises deeply with the families of those who lost their lives in this tragic event, and with the victims who were injured.

The decision to accept a plea of guilty involves complex issues of fact and law. These decisions are always made after close and careful consideration of the evidence and in accordance with the Prosecution Guidelines.
