JEREMIAH DUGGAN

Ellman, Louise
That
this House is dismayed by the suspicious death of Jewish student and
British national Jeremiah Duggan, in Wiesbaden, Germany on 27th March
2003; notes that the initial verdict of suicide given by the German
coroner was rejected by a British inquest in 2003; is concerned that
since that time in spite of all attempts by Duggan's family to obtain a
full investigation this has been refused; further notes that compelling
forensic evidence published in March 2007 on the fourth anniversary of
Duggan's death casts doubt on the current version of events; believes
that a further investigation of the case is now urgently required;
calls on the Attorney General to support the application for a new UK
inquest; urges the Attorney General to liaise with his German
counterpart as a matter of urgency to establish the truth; and further
calls on the Government to ensure that, with the assistance of Mutual
Aid Treaties, a full investigation into Duggan's death is carried out.
