Top cops to front Lindt inquest next week

The three most senior NSW police during the Sydney siege will front the Lindt Cafe inquest next week.

NSW Commissioner Andrew Scipione, his deputy Cath Burn, and then-acting deputy commissioner Jeff Loy will be quizzed on Tuesday and Wednesday about whether they inappropriately interfered - or failed to intervene when they ought to have - during the deadly standoff in December 2014.

All three have denied giving any operational guidance, advice or orders during the Martin Place siege.
