Britain cannot arrest as a British crime, they can arrest on behalf of another state within the EU. Not what he stated.

Hi,

the irrefutable existence of the EUropean Arrest warrant not withstanding I believe that Coroners Courts of British citizens killed abroad are conducted under British law in Britain. That child and parents were British they can be arrested under British law for a crime shown to have been committed on a British citizen from the Coroner's Courts - Believe.

Are you for a moment claiming that morally they should be permitted to avoid justice for having committed their crime in a foreign country?

I think NOT.

Morally or not, the Jurisdiction for a criminal offence is in another country.

In 1992, the same coroner's court, Oxford, returned verdicts of unlawful killing in the case of nine British soldiers killed by US "friendly fire" during the first Gulf War.

Lawyer Mark Stephens represented the families of those killed.

Oxford assistant deputy coroner Andrew Walker
Coroner Andrew Walker referred the case to the attorney general

"In that case, the coroner did not send the papers to the DPP or the attorney general because those responsible for the deaths were outside the jurisdiction.

Just for once it would be nice if you and GLW could actually agree on something. You are like a bickering old married couple, constantly chastising each other. Instead of always sniping at each other, why don't you find out what you both have in common!

You never know. This could be the beginning of something beautiful!

Charlemagne, please note his comment he did what he always does. Posts something which contextually would seem to authorative and then adds the word 'believe'.

Greg is right, Bob: If you die abroad, and your body is brought back, there is a Coroner's court held here:

Coroners, post-mortems and inquests : Directgov - Government, citizens and rights

Quote:

Coroners hold inquests in these circumstances even if the death occurred abroad (and the body is returned to Britain). If a body is lost (usually at sea) a coroner can hold an inquest by order of the Secretary of State if death is likely to have occurred in or near a coroner's area of jurisdiction.

Hi,

as far as I can see - you seem to confirm my point. Thus the Doctors McCann were in British juristiction although the offence may not have been.

Or so I understand your point to be.

In passing the word 'believe' is exactly what it means - I stated the facts as I understood them and said 'I believe', how would you rather I stated the facts in the light of the fact that I am not 'advised' legally by a Barrister.

Regards,
Greg L-W.
