Cabinet yesterday endorsed the recommendations contained in the Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the circumstances leading to the death of 13-year-old Dylan Rose whose body was found in an abandoned house in Mont Buxton in the morning of Friday 19th May 2017.

The Commission of Inquiry was led by Justice Bernadin Renaud.

The Report recommended that the Police should continue to investigate the matter further, and that when investigating cases of this nature, especially involving children, the Police must consider all possibilities and not rush to conclusions.  It also advised that the services of a Forensic Pathologist should be called for when investigating such crimes.

The Report has today been published on the State House website at http://www.statehouse.gov.sc/uploads/downloads/filepath_103.pdf
