Mr Millin said: "We managed to contact the consulate in Houston but there is a time difference and they were not always very helpful..."We decided to handle everything directly ourselves including repatriation of Tom because we were not getting any help from our government at this end or that end."The murder of any family member is traumatic and you're just not prepared for it. "When it's abroad it just compounds the issues, the time differences and very often there's a language difficulty."

School choir performance EXPLODES into violent brawl between parents in dramatic video
Shocking footage captured the moment parents exploded into a wild brawl after a children's choir concert in Texas. The melee unfolded Monday at West Plains High School in Amarillo after students finished performing for their families. Several parents were seen shoving each other in the hall, including one woman in a blue top who punched a man in the back of the head. One man in a vest appeared to be at the center of the fight when it broke out, and he was held back by several others as he squared off with another man in a white t shirt. When the man in the vest was pushed back against a wall, two other men then confronted him and pointed their fingers in his face. A young boy who witnessed the outburst could be seen being comforted by his mother nearby as he was left in tears by the brawl. The footage ended with the man in the vest speaking with other parents as the man he squared off with was escorted out by other witnesses. The Amarillo Police Department told KAMR that a school administrator called the cops to make a report after the incident, but no arrests were made. According to the Amarillo Police Department, none of the parents involved in the clash wanted to press charges after the fight was broken up. It is not clear what ignited the brawl between the parents, however witness Michelle Murphy Lancaster took to Facebook after sharing the footage to explain what she saw. Lancaster said one of her children participated in the choir performance, saying she pulled out her phone to record after 'hearing an altercation.' 'I decided to tape after the first punch was thrown,' she wrote, adding that one of the men in the fight had his name on his shirt and was a known insurance agent in the community. 'I heard the first part of the fight as they were exiting the auditorium,' she continued. Lancaster said she stopped the flow of people exiting the performance. Lancaster said the insurance agent's daughter tried to break up the brawl, and 'another lady called 911 for me' as she filmed the melee. 'There were SO many kids there - very scary situation,' she added. Officials with Canyon Independent School District slammed the families in a statement after the footage swept social media. 'School events are meant to celebrate student learning and achievement, and we expect all guests to model respectful behavior and uphold the event's decorum,' the statement read. 'Student safety is always our top priority. While we can't comment on individual matters, the district has taken appropriate steps in response to the situation.'
