    A slaying that shocked New Zealand over 12 years ago is back in the spotlight
    on an American website. 
    
    The website is showing gruesome police photos of David Fuko, a young Tongan
    man hacked to death with a machete in an Auckland shopping centre.
    
    Members of the Tongan community are stunned that photos of the murder
    victim's mutilated body have been posted on the website.
