Investigation into the assassination of Floribert Chebeya: Issues from the autopsy



Inquiry into the assassination of Floribert Chebeya: Issues from the autopsy
Dr. Tharcisse Loseke Nembalemba __ If there is a point at which all everyone agrees about the assassination of Floribert Chebeya is conducting a serious investigation, independent and international to elucidate the circumstances of this heinous and brutal death. Even the Kinshasa government hopes that "light be made" in this case. Being suspected of murder, the step critical of the investigation will undoubtedly autopsy.

Only very few people are asking fundamental questions about the practical realization of this autopsy. Among these issues, the most important ones are: Where is practically the autopsy? By whom? Under what conditions of reliability? The answers to these questions can be concluded from the outset that if the autopsy Floribert Chebeya was held in Kinshasa in the current conditions, it would just be sloppy and leave a lot of gray areas. That those who have something to hide wish.

Dr.Tharcisse Loseke Nembalemba
In criminology, as seen in some television series, investigators are taking great care with the information they get from the autopsy are usually a importance for the closure of their cases.

In Kinshasa, as throughout the whole of DR Congo, there is no institute of forensic or forensic well equipped. There are four major hospitals left by the Belgians: General Hospital of Kinshasa, HGK (formerly Mama Yemo), Clinique Ngaliema Hospital of Kintambo and Cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa (CUK). There is only the General Hospital of Kinshasa and CUK that could perform autopsies. The autopsy of CUK closed long ago. At KGH, the only Medical Examiner DR Congo that has now aged over 80 years, rarely does the "autopsy" which are really just observations with material completely obsolete and not Conventional autopsies. In these circumstances, where can we believe that an autopsy may be performed valuable?

Whatever the will of the government in Kinshasa, it is virtually impossible to equip one of these hospitals with an autopsy room in record time for the American Foreign experts and / or Dutch can do their work under optimum conditions. It is important to note that a full autopsy room is far more expensive than operating room of Neurosurgery Reportedly hot in Brussels.

In addition, the autopsy is not limited to the findings and observations of indices. It also includes a series of samples taken for analysis which require storage conditions extremely difficult if the tests are done remotely. As everyone knows, in some surveys are these tests themselves have helped to clarify some puzzles. In the case of our brother Chebeya, the search for DNA (his and others') and derivatives of Viagra (sildenafil citrate) in its tissues will be crucial for analysis confused the authors of this crime and dismantle especially deception we wanted to go sully his memory.

Furthermore, the forensics, like other specialties of medicine, is also fragmented in other specializations more advanced. We doubt that a strong army of experts is coming to Kinshasa to able to give their expertise in specific matter. Just as we can not assume that those foreign forensic experts would travel to Kinshasa would bring with them all that sophisticated equipment necessary for a reliable autopsy. Yet precisely this is it what would more seriously in the investigation, according to consultant forensic. The confessions of the accused today do not invalidate the conduct of a serious investigation.

Beyond technical issues, the powers that be will not fail to create barriers to the achievement of the autopsy in Kinshasa in good condition. Currently the body of Floribert Chebeya would be taken hostage the arrogance of GHK. As everyone knows the visits are prohibited, and a delegation of Ambassadors, accompanied by a medical examiner would have been snubbed.

what to do in these circumstances? The only alternative open to us is that the autopsy is done under conditions in a foreign country. We advocate a rapid consultation between the family, NGOs and human rights experts appointed lawyers (including the Americans and the Dutch) to lift the realistic option that would perform the autopsy properly to give credibility to the survey . The Congolese people want to be enough built on the contours of this heinous crime.
