In the DRC, the conclusion of the Congolese public prosecutor's office affirms that Chérubin Okende died by suicide, the night of July 13 to 14, 2023, in Kinshasa. This result is contested by the family of the former Minister of Transport and opposition MP, but also by his party Ensemble pour la République.
“All the photos, all the first elements of the file, even analyzed by a novice, suggest that there was a murder and it is incomprehensible that justice concludes that it was a suicide,” says Stewart Muhindo of the citizen movement La Lucha.
