Who killed Laurent Kabila?

A MURAL depicting a lavish picnic—roast chickens, bottles of wine and massive bowls of fruit—adorned the wall behind the judge's bench. Somewhat incongruous for a courtroom, but the most eagerly anticipated murder trial in recent Congolese history is taking place in an old, partially-converted eating hall in Makala prison in Kinshasa, the capital. A hundred and fifteen people are accused of plotting the (successful) assassination of Laurent Kabila, the Democratic Republic of Congo's president, in January last year.
