The devastated mother of one of two men killed in a shooting in downtown Auckland has described the heartbreak at learning her eldest son was dead and revealed he was shot in the head.
Mena Sipiliano was told on Thursday evening that her eldest son – 44-year-old Tupuga Sipiliano, of Wattle Downs, South Auckland – had died in a shooting earlier that morning.
Speaking to Samoan-based radio station Talofa FM, she said she did not believe the news as she never thought anything like this could happen to her son at work.
