Amokura Daniels-Sanft

Amokoura was born on February 15, 2014 and is one of four children. Sanft and Daniels had been living at their Favona Rd home for about six months and were in the process of moving when their toddler was shot dead on June 2. Neighbours said they heard a "loud explosion" followed by hysterical sobbing. One said it wasn't until police knocked on her door a few hours later that she discovered what had happened. Later that day police confirmed Amokoura had been shot dead with a sawn-off shotgun - classified as a pistol under the Arms Act.

Amokura Daniels-Sanft was only 2 years old when she was tragically stolen. Killed at her own home on the 2nd June 2016. She died of fatal head injuries after being shot in the face with an illegal sawn off-shotgun. The man who pulled the trigger was her own father Gustav Otto Sanft. Sanft (27) was found guilty of manslaughter in September 2017 by jury trial. He had told the police, and later a jury of his peers that the illegal sawn-off shotgun was faulty and the loaded gun had accidentally gone off. The bullet hit his daughter directly above her left eye which caused an unsurvivable skull fracture. His sentence; 4 years and 10 months incarceration. At his second Parole Board hearing held in November 2020, he admitted he intentionally pointed the firearm at Amokoura and pulled the trigger. Gustav Sanft had lied! He had played the system and won!
