Family honour Ann Mannix and daughter Katie at funeral attended by hundreds
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral of former San Francisco police deputy chief Ann Mannix and her 24-year-old daughter Katie, who were killed on 11 October. Their surviving children paid tribute to the two women, while the suspected killer, Ann’s estranged husband Kevin Mannix, was not mentioned by name during the service.
Daughter Lauren described her mother as loving and dedicated, and her sister as kind, clever and full of energy. Ann’s brother said an act of violence had left the family overwhelmed with grief; senior city officials and police officers also attended the service, where two hearses were escorted by a police procession. Investigators believe Kevin, a retired sergeant, shot Ann and Katie at their Marin County home before killing himself.
