A true lawman

IT WAS WHAT Mark Thompson wanted. The man who held Master’s degrees and was called to the Bar as a lawyer but who chose to remain a lawman, signalled his love for his job by saying that his course mates “will lift him from this place”.

Yesterday, the flag-draped casket of Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Thompson was borne on the shoulders of his course mates in and out of the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre for a ceremony attended by hundreds. (Picture by Kenmore Bynoe.)
