The aunt of police shooting victim Joshua Samaroo, Camellia Samaroo, yesterday complained about the police presence at his funeral, saying it left her feeling uneasy.
Camellia Samaroo said while she understands that the police have a job to do, they caused her some discomfort seeing them at the funeral. This, she said, was compounded when police officers were seen following relatives from the original location venue at the St James Crematorium to the nearby Monsegue and Company Funeral Chapel on Church Street, St James.
Police officers at funerals for individuals killed by officers is a normal occurrence, but Camellia said she felt uncomfortable by their presence.
