One of the militants behind the Nairobi mall massacre pleaded for forgiveness and gave a four-year-old British boy chocolates after he called him 'a very bad man'.

Elliott Prior, from Berkshire, England, stood up to the gunman to protect his sister Amelie, 6, and his mother Amber, who was shot in the leg in the attack on the Westgate mall, CBS News reports.

'You're a bad man, let us leave', Elliott shouted at the gunman, the youngster's uncle, Alex Coutts, said.

The militant from the al Qaeda-linked Somali terror group al-Shabab allegedly gave him a couple Mars chocolates and asked for forgiveness from the family before letting them escape.
