It was an emotional day for Kinnear’s family members as they comforted each other during the funeral. They were preparing to say goodbye to the revered detective when his funeral takes place over the weekend.
At the memorial, Matakata reiterated that there had to be justice for Kinnear.
“We are really supporting any work [and] effort that the hawks and all of us in the police are making to really make sure that people are brought to court, ”Matakata said.
