N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Sobbing relatives on Friday stood around a coffin holding the body of Chadian journalist Oredje Narcisse, 31, one of dozens of people killed in the violence that erupted from pro-democracy protests last week.

Narcisse was shot in front of his home in Chad's capital N'Djamena on Oct. 20, when hundreds demonstrated across Chad to demand a quicker transition to civilian rule after the military government pushed back promised elections by two years.
