Her son, 25-year-old Tarun Asthana died Monday 4 November, two days after suffering critical head injuries in an unproved attack outside a McDonald’s in downtown Auckland. He on his way home after a night of clubbing with friends early on previous Saturday morning.
The family invited the Grenville David McFarland, who has been arrested for the attack, to see him in hospital.
At the Requiem Mass for Tarun, which took place last Saturday at Christ the King Catholic Church, in the Auckland, suburb of Owairaka, several hundred family members and friends paid their respects to the much-loved trainee teacher and part-time DJ.
Amid an outpouring of tributes and grief for Tarun, his family offered their forgiveness to McFarland, with a prayer said for both him and his family.
