A West Auckland couple who were swept to their deaths at Muriwai have left behind nine grieving children and one grandchild.
The refugees from Burma, Kay Dah Ukay, 48, and his wife Mu Thu Pa, 50, were fishing on the rocks with their three youngest children aged 13, 9 and 7 yesterday when tragedy struck.
An older daughter Dah Htoo Ukay, 25, said her father slipped on the wet rocks as he tried to haul in a fish.

"He was slipping on the rock and fell in the water.
"My mother also tried to hold the rod. My younger sister tried to grab my mother, but she fell in the water too."
Jay Ukay, 9, said the three siblings called for help.
