REPLY
Yes, a Board of Inquiry (BOI) has been established.
The BOI was convened on the 16th of October 2013; however, publishing
information on the specifics of the BOI would be inappropriate at this
stage, particularly its composition as this may have the potential of
placing the investigation and the members involved at risk
