Title: The assassination of Chérubin Okende in the DRC: The investigation is progressing, relatives meet the Deputy Prime Minister
Introduction :
Nearly three months have passed since the tragic assassination of national deputy Chérubin Okende Senga in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His family, seeking justice, recently met with Deputy Prime Minister for Interior and Security, Peter Kazadi, to obtain information on the progress of the investigation. In this article, we explore the latest developments in this case and the hope it raises for the resolution of this heinous crime.
An encouraging interview:
During their meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister, Chérubin Okende’s father and his widow were reassured about the government’s desire to shed light on this villainous assassination. Maître Laurent Onyemba, the family’s lawyer, stressed that the interview went rather well and that the government shows its determination to resolve this matter.
An in-depth investigation:
The investigation into the murder of Chérubin Okende goes beyond a simple autopsy. South African experts were called in to help gather evidence and reconstruct the sequence of events. They particularly looked at the car used during the crime in order to trace the communications and the route of the vehicle. This comprehensive approach aims to establish the responsibilities of the individuals involved and to bring the truth to light.
Funeral delay:
Although the funeral of Chérubin Okende has not yet taken place, Maître Laurent Onyemba explains that this is deliberate. According to him, there should be no rush to bury the body, as this could compromise the investigation if the autopsy is contested. By keeping the body available, it is possible to carry out further investigations if necessary.
The request to meet Félix Tshisekedi:
The widow and father of Chérubin Okende expressed their wish to meet Félix Tshisekedi, president of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They see this as a basic demand and hope to raise their concerns with the nation’s guarantor. This meeting could help maintain pressure on the authorities so that the investigation results in fair justice.
Conclusion :
The assassination of Chérubin Okende in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to spark outrage and hope for a resolution. With the involvement of South African experts and the government’s stated desire to shed light on this matter, it remains to be hoped that the truth will come out and that justice will be done. The victim’s relatives, by meeting the Deputy Prime Minister and expressing their willingness to meet the President, show their determination to obtain answers and to ensure that such acts do not go unpunished.
