Key legal question
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the discontinuance of the criminal case.
Extracted holding
Yes. As close relatives of the deceased victim and as a person allegedly endangered by the shooting, they could appeal despite lacking ordinary civil claims.
Extracted reasoning
The right to an effective investigation and prosecution under constitutional and convention provisions may ground standing in cases of alleged unlawful fatal force; for the deceased victim's heir and the allegedly endangered co-occupant, standing was admitted at the admissibility stage.
