Congolese president says army spy chief died by hanging

Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi arrives at the UK-Africa Investment Summit in London, Britain January 20, 2020.

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi said the death of the country’s top army spy last month was apparently due to hanging, but he did not spell out whether the military intelligence chief had killed himself.

General Delphin Kahimbi’s death on Feb. 28 followed media reports that he was being investigated for allegedly seeking to destabilize the country. At the time, his wife said he had suffered a heart attack.
