KOTA KINABALU: Mejar Mohd Zahir Armaya's mother, Rusunjan Mohammad (pic), was buying supplies at the wet market when she received a call that her son was killed during an army demonstration.

The 57-year-old from Tuaran was actually shopping for something to cook for a family dinner, as Zahir was expected to "balik kampung" after seven years of not setting foot at Kampung Indai, where Rusunjan and relatives from her side reside.
