Seventy bodies found in a church
It is suspected that Islamists of the ADF are responsible for the massacre. More than 70 bodies were found in a Baptist church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is suspected that the remains belong to a group of people who were abducted earlier this month and that the ADF is responsible for the mass killing.
On February 14, beheaded bodies of more than 70 people were discovered in a church of the Evangelical and Baptist Center of Congo and Africa (CEBCEA) in Kasanga, near the village of Maiba, in the Lubero area, in the province of North Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Among the victims, there are women, children, and elderly as well.
Locals suspect that the bodies found in the church belong to a group of people who were abducted by unidentified armed kidnappers on February 12. It appears that the captors tied up the victims and carried out mass execution, beheading their captives with machetes.
It is suspected that Islamist fanatics of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist terrorist group affiliated with the Islamic State, active in the east part of the DRC, is responsible for the horrible massacre.
