'Premeditated murder'
Mr Hydara's son Baba said it has been hard for the family, who have been seeking justice for 15 years, to hear about the hit squad. He told AFP news agency that the testimony from Mr Jatta, who admitted being one of the men who shot his late father, had affected him. "How it was planned, how he explained it, it's like they did their homework. They studied. They really did research on how and where to hit him... It was very premeditated," he said. Reuters quoted him as saying the family was "appealing to the government to make sure that these confessed killers are not in our streets, are not in our communities". The hearings are modelled on South Africa's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission News of the three soldiers' release has caused a public outcry, not just from relatives of the victims, journalist Saikou Suwareh Jabai told BBC's Newsday. But he said the TRRC is proving a healing process, helping victims and their families find closure.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
