CONAKRY, Guinea — Officials in the West African nation of Guinea
say they've arrested two suspects in the case of the killing of the
country's treasury chief, who was shot to death nearly two months ago.
Authorities paraded the pair in front of journalists Friday. Aissatou Boiro
was killed as she was driving home. She had launched an investigation
into the loss of 13 million francs ($1.8 million) which went missing
from the state coffers.
The government says the suspects were found with Boiro's computer memory stick and mobile telephone.
The men denied any involvement in her slaying and said a friend had given them the items.
Boiro's colleagues say she had
zero tolerance for corruption and was intent on putting an end to the
mismanagement of state funds.
