Menezes family rejects $1m offer
The parents of the Brazilian man gunned down by police at London's Stockwell Tube station have reportedly turned down a one million US dollars compensation offer from Scotland Yard for his mistaken shooting.
Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot seven times in the head by police marksmen on July 22, but his parents Matozinho and Maria de Menezes are believed to have rejected the offer as an insult.
They told the Daily Mail newspaper: "We will not be bought off. We will not be silenced. This is not about money, this is about justice."
