The father of a 6-year-old Auckland boy shot dead in Fiji, allegedly by his 10-year-old uncle, has made a plea for parents to educate their children about guns.
Mohammed Khubeb Khan died after being shot in January at a building site near Lautoka, in Fiji.
His family had been celebrating the completion of their new holiday home in Fiji when the tragedy happened.
Speaking for the first time since his only child's death, Mohammed Faizel Khan told TV3 how he watched his son die in his arms.
"I held him. I held his shoulders and that's when I saw the bullet wounds. My son passed away in my arms," he said.
