Inquest into death of Kevin Mamakwa postponed
The family of Kevin Mamakwa say they are unable to continue the inquest into his death due to a recent family tragedy.
The inquest was scheduled for Monday, but has been postponed to a later date.
Kevin Mamakwa died in June of 2020 while situated at the District Jail.
“It was necessary to temporarily postpone these proceedings, but this does not lessen our resolve to get the answers we need,” said the Nishnawbe Aski Nation Executive Council and Jonathan Mamakwa, Kevin’s father, in a press release Tuesday.
