More on the shoot-to-kill mishap...
Jul. 27th, 2005 10:43 pmIt's the last paragraph that makes for interesting reading...
Ms Figueiredo described her cousin, a 27-year-old electrician, as an "extremely honest" person and said he had done nothing against the law.
She was one of four of the dead man's cousins - the others were Alessandro Pereira, Alex Pereira and Patricia Da Silva Armani - speaking at the London press conference.
They said they did not believe Mr Menezes, who had been challenged by plainclothes officers outside Stockwell, had vaulted the ticket barriers in order to evade them, nor that he had been wearing a heavy jacket, as was reported at the time.
Ms Figueiredo said police told her he was wearing a denim jacket and had used his travel card to get through the station.
