Alberto Graves Chakussanga
Shooting
Alberto Graves Chakussanga, a radio journalist with a station critical of the ruling MPLA government, was found lying in a corridor of his home in Luanda's Viana district with a bullet in his back.
He had been the presenter of a weekly, Umbundu-language news call-in program on private Radio Despertar. Chakussanga, 32, was also a lecturer at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Agostinho Neto state university and at the Angolan police academy. A few hours before his death, Chakussanga had left his pregnant wife at a hospital where she gave birth later that day to a baby boy.
