A family is deep in mourning after a beloved relative and a father of four was found dead at his home during the weekend.
It is alleged that Peresala Clay Tioa, 49, was beaten to death by two men over a dispute they had earlier.
The Police are investigating.
At Luatuanu’u yesterday, Ateliana Clay Tioa, the wife of the deceased man, said it has been difficult.
Mrs. Tioa found the body of her husband in a pool of blood when she returned home last Friday.
“I last spoke to him at 11:29 p.m.
that night before we came home,” she said. “I thought he’s at the Taxi Stand but he said he’s home and that was the last time I ever heard his voice.
“I am still in shock about [his death], and I never thought that he would leave so soon.”
Mrs. Clay Tioa described her husband as a wonderful man that was everything a wife could ask for.
“Clay never lays a hand on me and I know he loves me very much.”
She said he was a good father who loved jokes and his children.
Clay’s aunty Galuafi Taulamatagi, who lives next door, was in tears over her nephew’s death.
“Clay is a good father, he’s a kind hearted man, and he’s loves his children very much.
“We are having a hard time trying to forget what happened.” Mrs. Clay Tioa believed her husband’s death came after an incident with someone at Leusoalii. Clay is the son of the late Faaleleiga Ae and Faataualofa Tioa. He is the fifth son of eight siblings. He is survived by his wife and four children.
