The man accused of shooting a Kiwi cop dead while he was being arrested in a South London jail cell has drawn pictures of the incident.
“The story with Matt, as with most Kiwis, is that he was such a loveable character,” she said. “What I liked about him and his story was not only his background and where he was from, but also who he was as a person. He put so much of himself back into the community, and he often helped out young people in need.”
