George Nkencho, who died after being shot by armed gardaí outside his home in Clonee on December 30, sustained six gunshot wounds and not four as previously thought, his post-mortem has found.
The interim cause of death of Mr Nkencho, who had no previous convictions, was found to be two fatal gunshots to vital organs.
The results of the post-mortem were made known by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman to the family on Friday.
An email sent to the family by Gsoc confirmed to them injuries noted at the post-mortem examination were that it appears that six shots were aimed at the central mass (torso) and of those shots, one went through George s arm and did not go into his chest .

Two contrasting videos of George Nkencho help tell a story of a man who changed right before his family s eyes in recent years.
One is of Mr Nkencho speaking at his mother’s 45th birthday in 2018, where he thanked people for attending the happy event.
The other video, from last week, is of Mr Nkencho walking in west Dublin as he is followed by Gardaí in marked and unmarked vehicles. RTÉ s Prime Time understands that Gardaí were asking the 27-year-old to stop. But Mr Nkencho does not stop. He keeps walking.
The tragic events that unfolded on 30 December occurred over the space of 20 minutes.
