When armed police arrived at Oisín Osborn’s home in Hamburg, Germany in May 2019, he was in his underpants, wearing a saucepan on his head. He was agitated. He had been talking about "protecting" his wife and family from enemies. Oisín was going through a mental health crisis. His wife called the emergency services asking for help. The help that arrived were armed police. They shot Oisín dead. More than five years on, Oisín's family are still searching for answers and have now taken their case to the European Court of Human Rights. The case is entitled, “Osborn v. Germany” - and it's hoped it will finally reveal what happened to their son and why.
