Why not eye for an eye?

Invincible Strangers 51 Chapter 22.3

Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III was tama’āiga and that meant his entombment should be at a loa or mausoleum at Mulinu’ū. Fear of police prevented that and instead a funeral was decided upon, two hours after he had died. His body was taken to the middle of a green grassy plot beside a LMS church in Vaimoso, two and a half kilometres from the street where a police sniper had mortally wounded him a day before. His body, washed, oiled and dressed in a white suit, was placed on a bier. His upper body rested on a lavalava, purple with a white border, part of the uniform of the Mau movement. His hands clasped a small bouquet of flowers, while a boutonnieres over his heart signified a fragile life, lost. Tattersall took his photo of 73 people.
