Tongan family in Australia receive death threat after shooting incident

The family of the 21-year-old Tongan man who was shot in his leg on Saturday night, have received terrifying threats.

Sicona Aholahi was on his phone outside his family home at the Bidwill property around 9.30pm when four men pulled up in a black sedan.

He ran back inside the home after the shooting, followed by a man wielding a crowbar, 9 News reports.

Kaniva News reports Aholahi’s family was inside the home as the attacker threatened to kill them.

The victim’s father, Sione, challenged the violent offender.

‘I stood my ground and he said to me “I’m going to kill you”, and I said “do it”,’ Mr Aholahi said.

The attackers have been described as of Pacific Islander appearance, aged between 20 and 30 years old.

One has been described as 183-193cm tall, muscly build, and wearing a face covering.

Police from Mt Druitt Local Area Command established a crime scene and believe the shooting was targeted, but the victim’s family claim he does not have any enemies.

The family was in Mount Druitt celebrating Tonga’s quarterfinal win in the Rugby World Cup a few hours before the shooting.
