An inquest into the death of Mark Hennessy has been adjourned following a request from the Garda Ombudsman Commission.

Hennessy - who abducted and murdered 24-year-old Jastine Valdez last May - was shot dead with a Garda firearm following a major manhunt.

He'd been tracked down to a carpark in the Cherrywood Business Park in South Dublin.
