The family, friends and sympathizers of slain student Kian delos Santos gathered Saturday morning for the funeral march for the slain 17-year-old.

Delos Santos, whose controversial killing at the hands of Caloocan City policemen during an anti-drugs operation more than a week ago, has sparked public outrage.

A report from Radyo Inquirer said the funeral march stopped for a while at the Sta. Quiteria Church in Caloocan City, for a Mass before proceeding to La Loma Cemetery for the burial.
