Marshall said she wrote last month to the families of the 51 victims who died in the March 15, 2019, shootings at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques regarding the coronial process. "The purpose of the letter is to offer access to as much information as possible about the events of 15 March 2019, particularly around the cause and circumstances of how their loved ones died," she said. There will be two sets of information, one with a general level of detail and another with more specific information about how a particular person died. "If there are any issues that cannot be resolved through this information sharing process, an inquest may follow," Marshall said.
