The Military Court in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), on Friday, sentenced six people including two army colonels to death for the murder of two Chinese mine workers in March.
Ituri Military Court sentenced the other four military personnel to 10 years in prison.
All but one of those receiving the death sentence were members of the military.
The two colonels are accused of planning an attack on a convoy in March, with the aim of stealing four gold bars and $6,000 in cash being transported by the victims, who were returning from a gold mine.
