- Seven years ago, Shane Harrison and Dillin Pakai were found guilty of murdering 25-year-old Sio Matalasi during a stoush between rival Mongrel Mob members in Wellington. Sio, who had a young son and a new baby on the way, was not a gang member. However, he was friends with several members of the Petone Mongrel Mob chapter who lived in a nearby flat.
He stepped in to try to help his mates and was shot at close range by 18-year-old Pakai. It was 43-year-old Harrison who had ordered Pakai to start shooting during the confrontation.
Matalasi has wanted to meet Harrison since the day he forgave him in court. After seven years, the meeting finally went ahead at Hawke’s Bay Regional Prison early last month.

Forgive others.
Not because they deserve forgiveness.
But because you deserve peace.
best answer on the comments.
and yes it is from the Holy Bible. Jesus lives.
say that after your kid is dead. People make words easy without knowing what they mean. I dont know but if somebody stole my scooter or my pc i am gonna hate them and curse them for my entire life. Imagine if someone killed my son or something.

Very well said! They say holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to get sick. God bless you Chris! I'm not sure I could have forgiven him.
This father is the most amazing human I’ve ever heard speak.
Yep and my dad.
Amen!
So very heartwarming & sad
Believe me there are still truthful, brave and kind hearted people. Keep spreading love and kindness.

Mr. Matalasi was my high school Social Studies teacher at St. Pats Wellington. He was a great teacher but I had no idea of his challenge and the depth of character he had. To me this is the pinnacle of strength and Mana

Oh damn, it's the same guy. I thought I recognised him. He taught at Rongotai while I was there
Which country is this?
@@africaunite4489new Zealand
same here bro. waht year?
I myself committed aggravated armed robbery, even though I was sentenced years ago and have been out living my life differently since then there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the victims in the situation I was in and it tears me apart and once I had children of my own I hurt me even more to realize what I had done and how it's not about me when we all have a right to live in this world peacefully with each other and coexist and there was nothing important in this life that was worth taking somebody else's right to have a freedom or to live their life to the fullest with their loved ones in my opinion, It was very touching to hear this, grieving father forgive the other two boys and years later he's going into put this behind him by confronting the other man and it makes him a wonderful wonderful father grandfather and man, Amen..
love you're voice
God loves you ❤ take care and if you can listen to some great preacher called td jakes on you tube.i hope you like it,and let go of guilt and start fresh 😊 you deserve it.much love coning your way.
Damn, destroying lives, raping the community around you but thinking that "feeling bad" makes it all better.
Pay it forward. God bless. Kiss ya kids every night.
Your karma will come brother

This Father has strength and spirituality which unfortunately I very much doubt I am strong enough to obtain and withhold, Amazing human being who is a huge benefit to the rest of us Selfish people, God Bless him.
Amazing through Jesus Christ.❤️
My heart goes out to the father, what an inspiration to us all.
I wouldn’t be forgiving a person smiling at his murder trial. More power to that father. I couldn’t do it.
Same here
Sadly you can't say that because you don't know how it is and how it would change you as a person :)
You would be surprised how God changes a person's heart and thinking. Forgiveness is powerful! The devil hates when you forgive others. Peace & blessings to you

I have never seen such a story and such an amazing man as this father is! So much love and respect!!
I could not forgive something like that. Its unimaginable amount of compassion and forgiveness.
The father is a truly angelic being. What strength, what mental fortitude, what enormous courage he has to forgive his sons killer. Respect.

God does not care about us, because it's not real!! God is for weak minded people who are scared to die or like this father can't cope with his sons death.
You can kill as long you become a christian, then ALL is forgiven!!🥳 3000year old believe of primitive people who back then didn't know any better and had to be controlled by clergy. You all use current science and technology now every day!! and yet you are stuck on outdated believe system, in which "god" created Eve out of Adams rib!!😂 and earth is only 5000years old not as we know now about 5BILLION years old, and so on...
Take finelly responsibility for your own life's it's no point of being afraid so much all your life!!
In tears right now😭 Im a 47yr old man father of 4 this was awesome and powerful at the same time how forgiveness can set us free.❤🙏
Absolutely true brother, no doubt.
In tears with ya, 46, three grown children and four grandkids, that man had me blubbering, forgiveness is a powerful tool.
I understand bro. 54yr old father myself.
Very moving. As a father of 3 idk if i could forgive. Beautiful story
As a 102 year old man 😭 n have 1 week to live i lived a good life 🤧
I never met this man. But he's taught me a lot today. 🙏
What an amazing father and grandfather and man. As a mom who lost a son all too early I know the pain of loss we share. His forgiveness to those two men who used bravado to hide behind, would have touched a place inside them it would seem was completely gone.
Killer looks like a mortal kombat character... Father is a incredible Human being
That guy with 6 arms right?
Goro

What country is this
@@Hborn I believe it's Australia
The father that forgives, he is the strongest human I've ever seen, genuinely. He really made the murderer feel at ease, that's an incredible.power to behold.
It's truly AWE-INSPIRING! I don't know that I could do it!😔 I hope to GOD, He NEVER tests me like THAT! I NEVER knew love or protectiveness like that of being a dad! It's almost painful! When the dad said, "I wasn't there when he needed me"...MAN, that hurt!💔

@@jackiedorman2188 Like allowing the other to be MURDERED whilst looking on?
They are at ease because they have gotten away with murder.
The contrast between Sio's father and the goodness he projects and embodies and the evil that is permanently etched on the faces of the killers of his son is frighteningly sobering..
A Father's Love and the forgiveness he gave just shows what a beautiful man he is and all the love to the families involved.
wow 12 or 13 years sentence for a murder that is like a slap on the wrist
Right... England is on a different level it’s sad...

Welcome to new zealand. People get less for worse.
True just lock him in a cell with me over night I would change his life as an X inmate.
There is a Scottish saying "Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard's name"
Fuck you talking about
@@684boibeast6 forgive but never forget
Scotland is the worst and most violent place on earth. It is run by a secret mob boss based in Edinburgh, crime capital of the UK.
They say that in Lithuania too
Forgiveness is overrated. Justice is all that matters.
What an understanding loving person the father is. The world needs more people like him.
I also love the way the killer changed and accepted what he has done and that he was truly sorry about what he has done, showing love can really change a murderer to start become a better person.
It doesn't matter how he puts up his face or status,the real Shane Harrison is hiding behind ✊🧐
People saying the father shouldn’t have forgiven his sons killers gotta understand maybe this was his only way to finally get closure and not suffer from anger/sadness and grief for all these years of the loss of his son.
Exactly well said heaps finally some common calm sense instead of all the keyboard warriors in the comments
@@mastermao8592 yes exactly Sio,s Dad is healing slowly and he has given the opportunity to Shane Harrison /Dillin Pakai to heal as well much Respect
That’s some facts there💯
There's only two ways to get peice and move on,and that is to get revenge or to forgive
@@pluto2397 yep i agree but if revenge is going to put you behind bars that would be a waste

Powerful stuff. God bless this man and his grandsons.
Hes a special person I dont know if many of us could be this forgiving respect.
This is about forgiveness and Iafeta who is a religious man is actually putting into action what he knows, taught and learned from following God's teachings. Bless your beautiful heart Iafeta🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️
iv also had the same lessons but man i would still cry for blood he is a very strong person

I'm with you brother. There is a place for people like this father. Forgiving and rising above and to see his grandsons through, what a man. Not many find this courage for sure.
If there really was a god he did a good job protecting that man's SON... 👎
@@conejoXX209 God does not intervene with free will, it isn't free will if hes in control.
I would NEVER have been able to behave like this "father" who's forgiven the killing of his son ! Never ever !
I would have seek revenge and destroyed the killer's family and then ended him in the most painful way...
I don't care if it's not the "right" thing to do ! if you do me harm, i'll do you harm + bonus !!
Where's the justice for the person killed here ? his life ended without him having any choices about it. Can someone ask him if he's willing to forgive ? it's not possible, therefore there's no forgiveness to be given !
I am much forgiven by The Lord, therefore I am able to forgive. 😊
Wow, amazing father. To forgive your boy's killer...blows me away. God bless this precious father. An example of pure love. A pure example of Jesus.
When he said nothing I do or say will bring my son back. And chose forgiveness. That is truly breathtaking and human. It’s love like this that will change our world
We always find it incredibly powerful and emotionally moving when someone excercises this level of love, in direct response to follow JESUS'S example for us to lovingly copy and spread! 🙏👍🙏😘🤗😍
u call that love? lol
@@Snajdan For you, no seems ? Me def and the Forgiveness...

but it is not going to change our world what happened to Ghandi?
What can one say, this man is a perfect example of a person.
Forgiveness is powerful. Thank you for sharing this video program...May their testimonies continue to touch lives and change hearts.
What a very real, touching story that shows how a fathers forgiveness can not only heal & set himself free, but everyone in that room! And everyone who has watched this interview/ story! I do take my hat of to him! A very sad story but such a beautiful truth & meaning in it of what life is really about! And what this world needs more of!! LOVE…..
I'm from Sri Lanka. We have a saying . " Making mistakes is what men do. Forgiving is what Gods do "..... This man is above a normal human being.
He true kiwi Maori respect our country
This is Man is human like the rest of us. Only the Holy Spirit within him has enabled him to truely forgive this man for killing his son. Only the power of God can help us to forgive like this. God is real and He lives in the life of those who are true Christians. Praise God.
I will strive to be the MAN that father is - he experienced the heights of pain in this world and was able to grow as a human. His son is able to feel this even from the other side, I know how proud he is and how his father is helping so many people get an understanding of what is truly possible. You sir, have touched the deepest part of me. Thank You.
Very beautifully written 👏 👌 ❤
We need more Real Men in this world.
Thank you for such a wonderful video
He may not have bought his son back, but his son lives on in the compassion his father shows every day. What a beautiful human being his father is.
As a father myself and grandfather this made me cry!!
This man has an inner strength that is beyond belief. He is an inspiration to the human race.
My dad got murdered on 14th April 2021 and my sister got murdered in August 2019 in Papua New Guinea while I was happy living here in Palmerston North, New Zealand. I am reduced to tears watching this because I am struggling to forgive the people who killed them. All I have is hate within me. The worse thing is that I know these people. They are my family. I couldn't go and pay my respects to them because of COVID-19. Once the borders open, I will take the first flight out.
This is absolutely amazing, thank you to this wonderful father and his family.
Holy shit!!! I couldn't personally ever forgive someone who hurt my child but, must say, this man is a much better person than me and, this truly touched me and, made me tear tf up... especially when he gave his victim impact statement... life is crazy and too short for grudges
me neither, i would not forget or forgive
He is no better and no worse than you
sexual assault
This made me break down in tears.. very powerful!
The power of this meeting turned my heart over, what beauty in this meeting, what strength and change it inspired. This act of forgiveness has had a chain reaction that will be felt a king time.
Thank you sir for setting this example for us
This testimony so very Powerful that has brought tears & love😭❤

LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
Live life to the fullest and love your neighbour.
God Bless & much Alofas & Aroha❤
All glory to God. Amazing testimony and an encouragement for all us Christians that this is true forgiveness. God showed us first and foremost what true forgiveness was through the death of His ONLY Son who died on the cross for our sons. God bless you Iafeta and your family. God bless Shane and may he through this experience come to know the Lord. Praise God. What a beautiful touching story. Brought tears to my eyes and made me reflect on my life as a Christian.
It’s a very sad situation. It’s biblical to forgive but Shane and Dillon must now reap what has been sewn and do the time. I hope they will be convicted of their actions and repent and live for the Lord. I hope Iafeta is in a church that preaches the truth because many people in churches are given half truths. We must be born again and then continue on til the end. Jesus bless you all czcams.com/video/E5igxAyX0sc/video.html

No words can describe how honourable this man is. There's a lesson for us all, hate and revenge only divides us and makes us weak, we all need to come together, forgive those that have wronged us and live decent and fulfilling lives. What an amazing man.

Well done Dad, God is good and choosing forgiveness is what heals. We all need a lesson from this Man. He understands what holding onto Faith is. And to the ex mm member take up his challenge to go to Church you would be a mighty Christian warrior we need them more than ever right now.
Wow! Yup fill them ranks with more predators like yourselves 🤮
Amazing story thank you for sharing 💞
Great documentary, love these series

I am speechless after seeing this. What a remarkable, brave and ordinary person that father is. If we could all have a bit of his personality, this world would not be such an ugly place. I will never forget mr. Matalasi.
Father : “when you get out, you can go to church with me.”
Wowww 🤯 the father is an unbelievable human being. I’m glad he’s a happy man now. Really happy.❤️

Awesome story for our people in NZ. Keep safe everyone, don’t act in the heat of the moment 💙
This man showed he's strength with his forgiveness .

This is so so touching ❤️
What they mean by "time heal all wounds" they actually saying time allows you to learn to live with grief and come to terms with what happened cause it cant be changed.
13years for murder , that's a bulls hit sentence
I'd wait 13 years for revenge ..
I agree
Maybe he forgave them so he can kill him after he is out then they would not suspect the father :)
It's New Zealand, they got a laughable justice system. Also, if you are Maori your sentence automatically reduces like 20%
@@wl2033 Maori privilege
This touch my heart and made me cry. I really believe that the forgiveness the father gave help both of them. And help Shane during his bid. The embrace they did was touching. And the fact that Shane stated he wasn't ready to get out tells me he feels like he needs to sit for his crime and also work on himself. But although this is a sad/beautiful moment the funniest part is when shame stated he don't think would be to able to attend church
The fact he stated he wasn't ready is a true sign of remorse..
What a great program! I believe that restorative justice helps the victim's family heal, and, gives some humanity to the offender.
WOW THIS IS AN AMAZING MAN WHO ACTUALLY CHOSE THE RIGHT WAY TO SETTLE THIS, I THINK HE WILL HAVE PEACE.

Not gunna lie tho, if someone killed my son, no matter how “sorry” he was. I would never never ever forgive him for what he did

Yeah I hope the killer would rot in hell
I understand where you are coming from, at least you are honest. I may be the same aswell if it was my son or someone dearly close to me that I loved.
But forgiving someone would be a way of finding peace in your life because holding resentment for someone can be very draining and would hinder you from living your life to the fullest. Better to forgive the person for your own sanity

Wonderful story in a amongst a story of horror. I'm glad these 2 men could see through the hate and give each other some healing.

No, empathy creates weirdos like the freak with facial tattoos.
This was so groundbreaking and beautiful to watch. Murder is morbid and ugly but forgiveness is righteous. Hard but needed for one’s soul.

When he was forgiven he could see the wrong dooings, what he had done was not just hurt one person but alot of people. His heart got a frozen heart got a spark of flame in it that what it seems grew.
@Calle Bergqvist nope. It's the forgiveness they get that makes them think brutal violent hatred and murder is okay.
It's *your* attitude that keeps them this way.
@@mjanny6330 No, every study in this shows that low sentences and get the person ready to get in society rather than to live in the outskirts of it is what makes people dont do crimes over and over again.

RIP precious soul. This man is selfless & evolved. A truly beautiful soul. I lost my son & the pain never leaves. Sending him love & light💞
I have the absolute honor of knowing Mr Matalasi from Lyall Bay City Fitness Gym. He is an amazingly kind-hearted gentleman, with an unshakable ethos and an amazing character. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey to forgiveness good Sir.
Most of my family is in Mongrel Mob, But I truly feel sorry for this guy 🙏❤️ So proud of him for forgiving his sons killer, I could never be strong enough to do that.
So there a gang? Why they kill this man's son?

Forgiveness will help this father get on with his life, but a rocket pointed at the sun filled to the brim with these gangs will help all of humanity get on with their lives
Doubtful
@Jordan Gill Why don’t u think of God now. The world killed Gods 1 and only son and God was the most loving there ever would be. Instead of seeking revenge, God forgave us for what we did and yet still loves us all more than we could imagine.
@@domiedollarz5649 that’s only relevant to your mob.
Incredible strength from this man to forgive him, when most wouldn't have dreamed of doing it.
I would’ve never shown the same forgiveness as a father ! I know that for a fact! But I do respect this man and what he’s done for his son
