Floribert Chebeya, murdered a year ago, received regular threats in his 20-year career

A military court in the Democratic Republic of Congo has sentenced to death four policemen for killing a prominent human rights activist.

Floribert Chebeya, head of the Congolese charity Voice of the Voiceless, was murdered last June.

His body was found in the back of his car near the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, after he had been summoned to police headquarters.

Three of those sentenced to death were convicted in their absence.

The court jailed another policemen for life, while three were acquitted.

Mr Chebeya received regular threats in a career spanning more than 20 years.

On the day he disappeared, Mr Chebeya sent a text message to his wife saying that he was at the police headquarters for the meeting, but was not heard from again

Mr Chebeya's driver, Fidele Bazana, is still missing.
