The last words of murdered British MP Jo Cox have been revealed by her assistant, Fazila Aswat ,who held her dying boss in her arms after she was shot and stabbed in an attack that has shocked UK and the whole world.

Gulham Maniyar, the father of Fazila Aswat, revealed the tragic details of her final moments.

He told ITV News: ‘She was with my daughter. They’d left Batley office, they were in the marketplace, she was in my daughter’s car sitting in the back seat. The car stopped and Jo decided to come out.

‘My daughter didn’t know she’d been shot. Because this person must be waiting outside where the surgery happens.

‘She said [Jo’s] injury was so bad and she was in her arms. There was lots of blood. She said “Jo, get up” but [Jo] said “no, my pain is too much, Fazila”. I think those were the last words Jo spoke.’

Mr. Maniyar added: ‘She could not do anything else. She tried to comfort her. Then the police came, the air ambulance came, they took her to hospital. She was a witness and her clothes were full of blood.’

He said his daughter tried to help Cox and hit the attacker with her handbag but he tried to go at her.

Mr Maniyar said Mrs Cox ‘was like a daughter’ to him and called him ‘uncle’. He added: ‘I think she’s a caring person, not just an MP but she liked to help every human being, every single person.

‘She worried about Syrian people, she worried about ordinary people. Whenever you approached her, she’d come forward with a smile and try to help you.

‘It’s shocking. Not just for my daughter but the whole community. We were living in harmony in the community, English community, Asian community. This news is shocking for the whole community. My daughter, it will take time for her to recover.’
