Opposition Spokesman on National Security, Derrick Smith, is strongly criticizing the police and the State over Mario Deane’s death.
Mr. Smith also accused the National Security Minister, Peter Bunting and Justice Minister, Mark Golding, of engaging in damage control regarding Mr. Deane’s death.
He says he finds this ‘sickening’.
He says the Opposition’s only concern is that there’s a speedy and thorough investigation. This, as he noted the changing stories about how Mario Deane died.
Mr. Smith is also calling on the government to stand the cost for Mr. Deane’s funeral.
