Lawton, 30, was killed shortly after he arrived in the Kosovan village of Krivenik, less than a mile from the border with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
The International Federation of Journalists has called for an inquiry into Lawton’s death, which followed a bombardment by the Macedonian army of a nearby ethnic Albanian guerrilla base just inside Macedonia.

The Macedonian Government has denied causing the death of Lawton and two others.
Lawton had been living in Pristina with his Kosovan Albanian wife, Elida Ramadani, who also works for APTN.
She is eight months pregnant.
The fund is dedicated to their unborn child.
