Mr. Brian Sutton:

In the original investigation, it would be investigated in relation to the assault first. Let us say somebody was prosecuted for the assault and the injured party subsequently passed away after the conviction, then a separate file would be produced for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions with medical evidence to be able to prove that the assault was the cause of death. Even though initially it was a section 3 or section 4 assault for which the perpetrator was convicted, one can bounce it on then and make a recommendation for a charge of manslaughter, a homicide or a murder.
