Mother weeps at funeral of man shot dead by police on M62 motorway slip road
The mother of a man shot dead by police wept as his coffin was carried out of a mosque.
Safia Bano was visibly distraught and had to be physically supported by mourners as the body of Mohammed Yassar Yaqub left Masjid Bilal in Huddersfield.
Hundreds of people attended the funeral service in his home town on Friday, more than were able to fit inside the building.
The 28-year-old died when officers opened fire on the car he was travelling in near the M62 in West Yorkshire on Monday evening.
An inquest, also held on Friday, heard that Mr Yaqub was shot through the windscreen of an Audi car after a "hard stop".
Bradford Coroner's Court was told that a firearm was found in the front passenger footwell of the vehicle.
Coroner's officer Chris Dalby told the hearing that Mr Yaqub was shot by an officer "in the execution of his duty".
