A London-based artist was shot dead while protecting his family when four gunmen burst into his first wedding anniversary party in South Africa.
Clinton De Menezes, 43, was gunned down when the armed men climbed a balcony of a friend’s house near Durban where the artist was celebrating in the early hours of New Year’s Eve.
A friend and best man, Simon Malpas, grappled with the gunmen and attacked them with a chair to try and keep them out of the house.
Mr De Menezes, who lived in west London until he moved to Kenya last year, hid his wife and seven-year-old daughter Eva in a bathroom and was killed as he tried to fight of the assailants.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
