Congo court sentences two Norwegians to death

A military court in Congo has sentenced two Norwegians to death and ordered them and their country's government to pay $60 million in damages after the pair were convicted of murder in the central African nation.

The Norwegians, Joshua French, 27, and Tjostolv Moland, 28, had been charged with murder, espionage and arms smuggling after their driver was found dead in May this year with a gunshot wound to his head near the city of Kisangani, in Congo's east. (Reuters)
