¶3. KEY MEDIA STORIES
¶A. On October 31, Mr. Julius Kamara, father of the late Halima
Sheriff Kamara, held a press conference to express dissatisfaction
with the police and the country's only pathologist, Dr. Owiz Kamara,
for "improperly" handling the investigation process into the death
of his daughter. Halima Sheriff Kamara, 19, was allegedly raped to
death in Kenema by a Lebanese man and four Sierra Leoneans. Mr.
Kamara said he was shocked to learn that all the arrested suspects,
including a Lebanese diamond magnate, had been released even though
a conclusive investigation had not been done. Mr. Kamara called on
the government to launch a new investigation into the death of his
daughter. The pathologist concluded that Ms. Kamara had died of
natural causes based on his autopsy findings.
