The compensation recommended for the families of the three men killed and for those injured in July 18, 2012 police shooting at Linden is reasonable, according to former Chancellor and Commission of Inquiry (COI) member Cecil Kennard, who says that the government could adjust the amount paid out.
Kennard says that the level of compensation recommended is fair in light of the testimony presented to the COI and the fact that it was found that the police did not intend to kill anyone.
“We did not take a shortcut. We looked at the evidence and made a decision as to what we felt was right,”
