"Any death of a person in Police custody is a tragic situation for the family of the deceased and in this case, for the officers involved and their families. It is now a matter for the court, and we will leave the court to do its work," Mr Cahill says.
"Any speculation prior to the full facts of this situation being disclosed in court would do a disservice to the deceased and his family, and the police officers involved."
