Pirates have raided the yacht of a family on a round-the-world trip, shooting a father dead and attacking his wife and child with a machete.
New Zealand man Alan Culverwell, 60, was killed by armed robbers on his 65-foot yacht near Morodub island in the Guna Yala district in Panama's north-east about 2am on Thursday local time.
The father-of-two was wounded with knives before being shot by a group of hooded attackers who stole a boat engine, Stuff reported.
His wife Derryn and daughter Briar were injured and taken to hospital in Panama City.
