As the hunt continues for the gunman who killed 39 people in a New Year’s shooting rampage in a nightclub in Istanbul, relatives of the victims are organising funerals.<br /><br /> In a mosque in the city of Mersin, a service has been held for a policeman shot in the early moments of the assault, 21-year-old Burak Yildiz. <br /><br /> In Istanbul, family and friends paid tribute to 35-year-old security guard Fatih Cakmak, another one of the first victims to be buried. <br /><br /> The owner of the Reina nightclub, Mehmet Kocarslan, spoke to mourners. <br /><br /> “How did he manage to get in despite all the intelligence and security measures?” he asked.<br /><br /> “I can only call this creature a demon. I can’t even say he’s a terrorist. I don’t know how he managed to get in.”<br /><br /> People have also been laying flowers outside the nightclub, which has been covered over with curtains.<br /><br /> Police say eight people are being questioned in connection with the attack but the gunman is not among those arrested.<br />
