THE funeral of the teenager shot dead by police took place yesterday as a further 1,300 were arrested and riots continued across France. 

Thousands of mourners gathered to lay Nahel Merzouk, 17, to rest in Nanterre.

One mourner, Marie, 60, said she had lived in the Paris suburb for 50 years and there had always been problems with the police.

“This absolutely needs to stop. The government is completely disconnected from our reality,” she said.

His death during a traffic stop in Nanterre on Tuesday sparked four days of rioting.
