Why would they not be able to visit the EU?  I didn't notice any warrants. 
I didn't notice an extradition request.  So this coroner can ban people
from the EU? Strange system.  Or were you just looking to make a headline?

What a stupid statement, "It was unlawful because there was no lawful
reason for it and in that respect it was criminal." So me a friendly
fire death where there is a lawful reason?  It is always a mistake by
definition.  Those incidents will always be preventable in some way.

IMHO, some one looking for headlines.  So what is the next step?  Is it
going to be taken?
