Inquest set for police involved incident
A public inquest will be held into the death of a man at a remote cabin in the Kootenays five years ago.
Fourty-five year-old Peter de Groot was killed by police in a cabin near Slocan in October 2014, a few days after he disappeared into the bush following a confrontation with police.
The Independent Investigation Office eventually released a report last year finding an officer was justified in shooting de Groot after he was reported to have raised a rifle as the Mountie opened a cabin door.
The inquest will start May 19 in Rossland.
