Ex Congo chief executed in Ngouabi slaying case
BRAZAVILLE Congo Former Congolese President Alphonse Massemba-Debat was executed by firing squad at dawn for his alleged role in the assassination of President Marien Ngouabi. A military court had convicted him the previous night and sentenced in absentia another alleged gunman, Captain Barthelemy Kikadidi. The government spokesman said more conspirators were arrested and will face trial as tapes aired purportedly of Massemba-Debat’s confession. The public remained calm as Ngouabi’s family denied any involvement in Cardinal Emile Biayenda’s Tuesday night slaying.
