Mwamba Bapuwa
Shooting
Mwamba Bapuwa, 64 years old and a journalist who worked for several media, was killed at home in Kinshasa on Saturday, just after 2 a.m.
He bled to death after being shot by three assailants who broke into his home. There was no immediate comment from police or the government. Bapuwa, who had recently returned from France where he had been working, survived a similar attack in March. He had written a series of political analyses in Kinshasa newspapers, the last of which on Thursday criticised police intimidation and political intolerance.
