Antonio Juaqim , 16 , was shot dead in Mozambique 's capital, Maputo.

His uncle says he was shot in the mouth and the bullet went through the back of his head.

Antonio 's killing is a tragic reminder of the volatile political climate in the southern African state.

The electoral commission said Frelimo 's presidential candidate Daniel Chapo won with a whopping 71% of the vote.

With a Mozambican flag laid out on the floor next to burning candles, Alito 's friends showed us a photo of him - with what appeared to be a gunshot wound in the back of his head. It was another reminder of how the election had cut short the lives of young people, with their friends and relatives hoping they will get justice as Mozambique goes through one of its most turbulent periods since the advent of multi-party democracy about 30 years ago .
