​Guinea Bissau: Le Roi Bijimita assassinated in his rice field, his body marked by traces of coups. 

  The kingdom of Bijimita, in the region of Biombo, was shaken this Tuesday by the death of the central chef, Malamato Djú. According to information gathered from his family, the chef a été retrouvé mort dans sa rizière, présentant de graves traces de coups. According to some information, Malamato Djú had gone to his rice fields in the evening to monitor the rice crop. A few hours later, his body was found without vital signs and presenting several injuries, which suggests that he was assaulted. “He went to check the rice yesterday and was found dead later. We have observed several injuries on his body, which leads us to believe that he may have been beaten”, a member of his family told the radio. The civil police were on the scene before removing the body, which was transported to the Simão Mendes National Hospital, where he attended the medico-legal examinations authorized by the police authorities. Two years ago, the kingdom of Bijimita was confronted with internal conflicts related to the succession of the chiefdom, which led to deadly confrontations.
