Police in eastern Congo killed two people on Tuesday when they opened fire on mourners at the funeral of a slain singer known for denouncing both his own government and the Rwandan-backed rebels occupying much of the country's east, witnesses said.
Thousands of Congolese had gathered to pay their last respects to Delcat Idengo, trailing his car-shaped coffin through the streets of his hometown Beni.
