Ian Bush (July 23, 1983–October 29, 2005), was a Canadian who was killed while in police custody.
Significant ongoing controversy has been generated by the case.
Ian Bush was a young man living in Houston, B.C.
who was shot in the back of the head and killed by Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Paul Koester, after being arrested outside a hockey game.
Many members of the community believe there were several flaws in the investigation, that there may have been a cover-up and conspiracy to protect Cst Koester.
A full inquiry was held by the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP.
