(Radio NZ) Survivors and witnesses of the LynnMall terror attack have together asked a coroner to hold a public inquest into the event.
A hearing is under way in Auckland to determine the scope and form of a coronial inquiry into the death of Ahamed Samsudeen more than two years ago.
He was fatally shot by the police after stabbing [multiple] people in a supermarket in September 2021, shortly after his release from prison.
Coroner’s counsel Anna Adams said a group of 12 survivors and witnesses still had unanswered questions and wanted a public inquest.
“The entire event was less than five minutes. All of the survivors describe a scene of panic, chaos and fear in the supermarket during the incident.”
