Unidentified gunmen shot and killed Burundi's former army chief of staff on Saturday in the second high-profile killing this month amid chaos linked to the disputed reelection of President Pierre Nkurunziza.
Col. Jean Bikomagu was shot dead outside his home in Bujumbura in the morning as he returned from church, said a witness who declined to give his name. His daughter, who was with him, was seriously wounded and rushed to hospital.
