The two Montreal police officers involved in the fatal shooting of 18-year old Fredy Villanueva were never interrogated by Quebec provincial police, the officer who headed the investigation told a coroner’s inquest Monday.

The inquest into the shooting death of the teen in Montreal North resumed under the watch of a new judge.

The inquest was postponed twice this year, first in May, when key witnesses refused to testify after a dispute over legal fees, and again in September, when Quebec Judge Robert Sansfaçon stepped down for health reasons.
