The detective who shot and killed the man behind the abduction and killing of Jastine Valdez last year will not be prosecuted.
The decision was taken by the DPP following a GSOC inquiry into the incident.
Mark Hennessy kidnapped and murdered Ms Valdez as she walked to her home in Co Wicklow in May last year.
He then dumped her body off Puck’s Castle Lane in south county Dublin.
The 40-year-old was shot dead when Gardai searching for the missing 24-year-old student approached him in Cherrywood industrial estate.
One shot was fired and the post-mortem by Deputy State Pathologist Dr Linda Mulligan established the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the arm and chest.
