'My pain is too much': Revealed, the tragic last words of murdered MP Jo Cox as her assistant desperately pleaded with her to try to get up after she had been shot and stabbed in the street

The attack on the popular politician - the first time a female parliamentarian has ever been murdered in the UK - has shocked the entire country and led to an outpouring of emotion (right).

The father of her assistant, who was with the Labour MP when she was fatally attacked in her Yorkshire constituency yesterday afternoon, has now revealed the tragic details of her final moments.

Gulham Maniyar, father of Fazila Aswat (centre with Mrs Cox) said: 'She said her [Jo's] injury was so bad and she was in her arms. There was lots of blood.

She said "Jo, get up" but she [Jo] said "no, my pain is too much, Fazila". I think those were the last words Jo spoke. She could not do anything else.
