A young mother has been gunned down in the street as her six-year-old son watched from inside their car in Bahrain.

Eman Salehi, a 28-year-old Shiite woman, worked as a sports journalist for Bahrain's state-run television broadcaster.

She was known for her piercing blue eyes and friendly demeanor. It's unclear what sparked the December 23 shooting. 

That night, her car was stopped in the Bahraini city of Riffa, a community popular with members of the ruling Al Khalifa family and the military. 

A man shot Salehi once in the head, then immediately turned himself into authorities. 

The murder shocked the small island and has sparked controversy over who carried out the killing.

Activists abroad allege a member of Bahrain's Sunni royal family serving in the military pulled the trigger.

Bahrain's monarchy has a long love of Britain's own royal family and in November Prince Charles and his wife Camilla visited the country, which is repeatedly accused of human rights abuses.

'I want to be with Carrie': Last words of Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds, 84, who died of a suspected stroke, just one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died of a heart attack

Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds died on Wednesday a day after the death of her daughter, telling family before a suspected stroke: 'I want to be with Carrie'.

The 84-year-old was rushed from her son Todd's Beverly Hills home at around 1pm after falling ill while planning her daughter's funeral. 

She died in hospital hours later. Todd Fisher revealed on Wednesday evening how his mother had been shattered with grief since his sister's death the previous day.

On the morning of her death, she told him: 'I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie,' according to TMZ. 

Carrie Fisher, 60, died on Tuesday from complications which stemmed from a heart attack she suffered on Christmas Eve while flying to Los Angeles from London.

On Wednesday, Todd Fisher said he was 'heartbroken' by their back-to-back deaths. 'She's now with Carrie and we're all heartbroken,' he said. 

While Fisher had made no funeral provisions, Reynolds knew 'exactly' what she wanted, her son previously said. 

Speaking before her death, he told New York Daily News that his famous mother had already chosen out where she would be buried and that they owned a family plot. 

All of his sister's estate would be handed over to her only daughter, Billie Lourd, he said.  

At the time of their deaths, Reynolds and her daughter enjoyed a happy, close relationship after years of estrangement.

They did not speak for 10 years when Fisher was a young adult and battling drug addiction. She would later tell how she 'didn't want to be Debbie Reynolds daughter', and was haunted by the daunting legacy of her Hollywood legend parents.

Reynolds already boasted a dazzling film career by the time she gave birth to Fisher in 1956.

Most adored for her role in the 1952 classic Singin' In The Rain, she was among a prestigious crop of actresses who became known the world over for their beauty and on-camera charm.
