Shot teen transferred

Hamilton: A 17yearold shot multiple times as he tried to shield a woman from gunfire in their Hamilton home has been transferred to a new hospital.

The daughter of senior Mongrel Mob gang member Mark Griffiths, Kahlee Marfell, was shot in the leg, while her partner Robert Nelson was killed during the shooting at their Melville home about 1am on Sunday.

Mr Griffiths’ 17yearold nephew was also shot four times at close range — twice in the torso, head and shoulder — and is fighting for his life.

He was yesterday transferred from Waikato Hospital to Auckland Hospital’s intensive care unit where he remained in a critical condition. — NZME
