Family of fatally shot man 'will never have answers' Marius Ciolac's sister Andreea says she will spend the rest of her life with "questions and doubts" about what happened.

An inquest jury concluded Marius was lawfully killed when he was shot outside a police station.

Mr Cioac arrived with a knife in one hand and a bag with a live cat in the other.

He had caused damage to the station and did not respond to officers' commands.

A separate investigation into his death found the officers' use of force was "appropriate".

Ms Ciolac could not attend the funeral as she was pregnant with her third child at the time.

She said she made an effort to set up the repatriation of the body to Romania , but couldn't attend.

"We've been told clearly that police did what they were supposed to do. We need to make peace with it now.".
