'They killed Jean Charles and won't even tell me why'


Maria Otoni de Menezes weeps when she remembers her son Jean Charles, shot dead by armed officers on the London Underground. She weeps too when she recalls how a senior British policeman came offering compensation, but no explanation as to why her son died. In her home on the family farm outside the small town of Gonzaga in Minas Gerais, she weeps for the lies she says the world has been told over how Jean Charles died.

Since that day, Mrs de Menezes has largely been sedated with Diazepam, but last week - in the first interview since revelations that officers present at the shooting of her son had contradicted the original account of his shooting in official witness statements - she said she wanted the truth.

Despite claims that the family has been offered £500,000 in compensation, she also wants to make it clear that so far they have been offered just £15,000.

'I feel hurt and offended,' she told The Observer during an emotional six-hour interview at the family home on Friday. 'I didn't think it was right to talk about money so soon after my son's death.'
