Hundreds of people bade farewell to a 16-year-old Mexican-American boy who was shot dead by police in southern Mexico. Alexander Martinez was laid to rest in a funeral that reflected his passion for football - friends brought his coffin to a local football pitch so that he could 'score' a final goal.

Martinez was shot in the head by police on Tuesday night and another teenager was also wounded in the incident and later died in hospital. The case, which is still under investigation, has sparked outrage in Mexico with protests planned in Acatlan de Perez Figueroa, Martinez's home town
