Anatomy of a Killing - BBC News

🎬 Video
ℹ️ Description

In July 2018 a horrifying video began to circulate on social media. It shows two women and two young children being led away at gunpoint by a group of Cameroonian soldiers. The captives are blindfolded, forced to the ground, and shot 22 times.

The government of Cameroon initially dismissed the video as “fake news.” But BBC Africa Eye, through forensic analysis of the footage, can prove exactly where this happened, when it happened, and who is responsible for the killings.

Army are those who fight for those who can't defend themselves. These scums are doing the opposite. Shame on Cameroonian government for having women and children killers on their payroll.

These executions happen often in parts of Africa and the Middle East; but most instances are never filmed.
BBC went full Sherlock Holmes on this investigation.

Investigative journalists exposing these atrocities are the real heroes. RIP to these souls and I hope justice or karma finds its way to the monsters who are responsible.

This is truly barbaric but also journalism used in a positive way to bring resolution to these horrific actions. Thank you for not giving up. I hope that these criminals never get out of prison.
