NSW: Jury retires to consider how Kovco died

The jury at the Sydney inquest into the death of Private JAKE KOVCO has retired ..

to consider its verdict on the circumstances of the soldier's death.

Closing submissions at Glebe Coroner's Court have finished after almost eight weeks of hearings.

The six person panel has been asked to canvass six scenarios that may have led to the
soldier's death in Iraq in 2006.

Private KOVCO died after being shot in the head with his own service pistol at the
Australian embassy barracks in Baghdad.
