Wounded Brit's heartbreak over wife's Nairobi death

The family of Niall Saville, a British man injured during the Nairobi shopping centre siege, have spoke of their shock and devastation at the death of his wife, Moon Hee Kang.

Niall, from Farndon in Lincolnshire, was shot in the shoulder whilst his South Korean wife Moon Hee died in hospital from grenade wounds sustained during the attack, the Lincolnshire Echo reports.

The couple are reported to have moved to Kenya earlier this year. In a joint statement, the Saville and Kang families said:

"The Saville family wish to confirm that Niall was injured in the Nairobi attack on Saturday, and that his wife, Moon Hee Kang, was fatally wounded.

"The Saville and Kang families are devastated and heartbroken by the sudden loss of Moon Hee. She was very close to the Saville family and brought so much joy to all of their lives.

"She and Niall had lived in numerous locations around the world together, but they always had time for both families. Moon Hee was a bright, loving, kind and genuine person who will be greatly missed."
