Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te whaea o te tangata o Ahitereiria i mate i Hiria i te pakanga ki te Islamic State, kua poroporoaki i tana tama i muri i te hokinga mai o tona tinana ki te whenua. I patua a Ashley Johnston, 28, i te marama o Hui-tanguru i Rojava, tata ki te rohe o Turkey, i a ia e whawhai ana ki nga Rōpū Tiaki Iwi o Kurdish (YPG) a i whakawhiwhia ki a ia he toa i Macquarie Park, Sydney, i te ata o te Taite. Ahakoa kāore tōna whaea a Amanda Johnston i te mōhio kei te whawhai tana tama ki te Middle East tae noa ki tana mōhio ki tōna matenga, ka hoatu e te whaea whakapehapeha he mihi whakamiharo ki tana mahi whakamutunga i roto i te ora i tana tangihanga. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Amanda Jonston (i waenganui) te whaea o te hoia o mua a Ashley Johnston, e haere ana i mua o te pouaka a tana tama i te wa e kawea ana mai i te whare karakia i tana ratonga tangihanga i Macquarie Park Cemetery i te Taite.

E ai ki nga korero, i mate te Ahitereiria i te Hui-tanguru 24 i tetahi kainga iti e tata ana ki Shingal i Iraq, tata ki te rohe me Syria Kurdistan. Heoi i whawhai ia ki te ture IS a ka patua i roto i te tukinga ki o ratou ope i te Hui-tanguru. I kii a Johnston i tana uiui whakamutunga i mua i tona matenga, i mataku ia ki te hoki ki te kaainga na te mea i whakaaro ia ka kiia ia he kaiwhakatuma. I taua wā, i kī tōna whaea, a Amanda Johnston ki te Sydney Morning Herald, kāore ia i te whakapono kei te whawhai tana tama ki a ISIS i Hiria. 'I karanga tonu ahau nā te mea kāore au i whakapono he pono. E mohio ana ahau i roto i toku mahunga ko Ash ia engari ko te toenga o ahau e kore e pai ki te whakapono he pono,'...
I huihui ngā kai-moemoeā i te Rāhoroi ki te poroporoaki i a Ashley Johnston. I werohia ia i a ia e whawhai ana ki ngā Rōpū Tiaki Iwi o Kurds. I patua a Mr Johnston i te tukinga ki a ISIS i te marama o Hui-tanguru. Kāore i te mōhio tōna māmā kei te whawhai tana tama ki te Middle East.
