The death penalty is a bad law which should be done away with, the rights group Amnesty International has said as a fresh debate on the fate of the divisive law in Sierra Leone takes center stage following the sentencing recently of a famous magician.
Baimba Moiforay, better known as LAC, was handed the death sentence alongside co-accused Foday Amara Kamara after the two were found guilty by the Freetown High Court. They conspired to murder popular DJ, Sydney Buckle, better known as DJ Cleff, the court found.
