Diana Bethel has an appointment with attorney Wayne Munroe in a bid to “get justice” following the killing of her 20-year-old son outside their home in Pinewood Gardens.<\/P><\/p>\n
A family spokesman told The Tribune last night: “We all know Deron was shot dead. What police are now trying to decide is whether it was a wrongful killing. We still believe it was murder.<\/P><\/p>\n
“We also believe that police are desperately trying to massage the truth and stalling for time.”<\/P><\/p>\n
However, Mrs Bethel is determined to follow this through and take it to a civil court if she needs to.<\/P><\/p>\n
Deron Bethel was sitting in his car when two plainclothes officers arrived on the scene to deal with a domestic dispute in a neighbouring house. A shot was fired through Deron’s car window, hitting him in the heart. He died on the spot.<\/P><\/p>\n
A total of seven affidavits have now been forwarded to police by Pinewood witnesses who fear there will be a “fudging” or “cover-up” of the incident.<\/P><\/p>\n
The family spokesman said: “I think the average black person feels that no-one cares. I feel that specifically in relation to this particular family.”<\/P><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Pinewood residents are now pushing for a proposed park in their community to be “The Deron ‘Sharky’ Bethel Park” after the dead man.<\/P><\/p>\n
The park, due to be funded by Kerzner International, is set for completion this year.<\/P><\/p>\n
A resident said: “We feel its right that Sharky should be remembered this way. His car came to rest at the site of the park on the night he died.”<\/P><\/p>\n
