Antigo militar detido por suspeita de homicídio de bispo em Moçambique

Mozambican police have arrested a former military member suspected of murdering Bishop Osório Citora Afonso in June. The suspect, who had fled to Zambia after the crime, was detained on October 29. Evidence linking him to the murder was found on devices seized from other suspects. The police have also identified additional suspects who remain at large. This arrest marks a significant development in the investigation, which has already seen several arrests, including a Catholic priest. Bishop Afonso was shot dead at his residence in Quelimane, becoming a prominent figure in the Mozambican Catholic Church shortly before his death.
