The coun­try record­ed its first mur­der at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 2.25 am yes­ter­day, with the shoot­ing death of a pas­tor and the wound­ing of his teenage son.Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, neigh­bours heard sev­er­al gun­shots com­ing from Lot 2, Mau­si­ca Road, Ari­ma, as they cel­e­brat­ed New Year's Day.When they checked, the res­i­dents found a dis­ori­ent­ed 18-year-old Ezra Khan run­ning around with a wound to the face.

His fa­ther Casimir, 52, was lat­er found ly­ing on the ground near his sil­ver coloured Toy­ota Ter­cel, which was parked in a garage at the front of his home.Of­fi­cers from the Ari­ma Po­lice Sta­tion were con­tact­ed. They ar­rived short­ly af­ter­wards and took Ezra to the Ari­ma Health Fa­cil­i­ty. He was at­tend­ed to by Dr Haresh and sub­se­quent­ly trans­ferred to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex (EWM­SC), Mt Hope, where he ward­ed in a se­ri­ous con­di­tion up to last night.

The el­der Khan, al­so a med­ical or­der­ly at EWM­SC, was found ly­ing on his back. He died on the spot af­ter be­ing shot sev­er­al times about the body. His son was shot in the face and neck.The el­der Khan was the pas­tor of the Sons of Je­sus Min­istries, which is lo­cat­ed on the same com­pound as his home. Al­so on the same com­pound are a day­care cen­tre and preschool–The Way Nurs­ery and Chris­t­ian Preschool.
