The
family of a man shot to death by a Montreal police officer in 2005 said
yesterday it will launch a legal challenge against the Montreal Police
Brotherhood. The police officers' union has gone to court to block a
coroner's inquest into the death of Mohamed Anas Bennis, 25. He was
shot on a street in Côte des Neiges by Constable Yannick Bernier,
who
claimed Bennis was about to attack him with a knife. François de
Vetter, a lawyer looking after the family's interests, is to file a
motion to challenge the Brotherhood's action.
