4.2   Deputy J.A. Hilton of St. Helier of the Minister for Home Affairs regarding investigations into the circumstances of the death of a young man in Trinity in July 2015:

Can the Minister confirm whether the States of Jersey Police have concluded their investigations into the circumstances in relation to the death of a young man in Trinity in July of this year?"

Deputy K.L. Moore of St. Peter (The Minister for Home Affairs):

The States of Jersey Police concluded their main investigative work last month and a detailed case file remained with the Law Officers' Department since mid-November. There has been a requirement for a small number of final enquiries, which, I am advised, will be concluded this week. As proceedings remain live, it is, of course, important to remember that this case remains a matter of sub judice. The deceased young man's family have been kept apprised, as have those who remain under investigation.

4.2.1 Deputy J.A. Hilton:

Does the Minister agree with me that to remand on bail five 15 to 16 year-olds for a period of 23 weeks without charge is an unacceptable delay?

The Bailiff :

If it is sub judice, it seems to me that is going to be an end to the matter, Deputy . I am looking at you in case you wanted to object but I think that must be the position.

Deputy J.A. Hilton:

Is it worth objecting?

The Bailiff :

Not really, no. [Laughter]

Deputy J.A. Hilton:

Maybe I could direct a question to the Attorney General.

The Bailiff :

If you give notice in the usual way I am sure you could try, but not today.
