articlemain

An inquest into the death of a north London student who died under suspicious circumstances in Germany has been delayed.

Jeremiah Duggan was 22 when was found dead on the roadside in the town of Wiesbaden in 2003 after attending a youth event organised by Larouche, widely regarded as a cult-like group.

His mother Erica Duggan claimed that German police failed to conduct a proper investigation, destroying evidence and carrying out a cover-up.

In 2014, a hearing at North London Coroner’s Court, agreed to grant a formal inquest into Mr Duggan’s death.
It was due to take place this month but coroner Andrew Walker has pushed it back to 19, May 2015.

Mrs Duggan said more time was needed to gather evidence
“The coroner needs to have sufficient information in order to hold the inquest and this has led to the postponement,” she said.

Anyone who has information is invited to give evidence.
