Apparently a distant member of my wifes family was killed by a policeman as he drove past a demonstration in the capital.

Does anybody have some information about this?

There's a lot of finger pointing about who shot who, whether it was the police or some of the protesters there. I don't think anybody knows what actually happened as yet.

Sorry to hear (if this is the story) that one of these young people were your wife's relative.
