We know where. We know when. But who are the men who killed these women and children? We’ll start by establishing that these are members of the Cameroonian military.pic.twitter.com/SqyL9yOPQf

Although we were not able to confirm this identification, a very similar name – Barnabas Donossou – appeared 11 days later in the government’s list of men now under investigation.pic.twitter.com/KNvdDVib6o
The other gun used in the killing is the Zastava M21 we saw earlier. It’s in the hands of a man identified in the video as “Cobra.” Who is Cobra?pic.twitter.com/mvWRoPvBbQ
As the women and children are killed, “Cobra” is the last man still firing into the bodies. A colleague calls out “Tsanga, leave it, they’re dead.” When he keeps firing, they call again: “That’s enough, Tsanga.”pic.twitter.com/qy9tFhwhvS
The name Tsanga also appears on the government’s list of soldiers now under investigation, suggesting that “Cobra” is a nickname for Lance Corporal Tsanga.pic.twitter.com/vVMz2YoJH5
We put these finding to the government of Cameroon, who said that 7 soldiers have been arrested, disarmed, and imprisoned while under investigation.pic.twitter.com/3zwlmMlaxe
The government statement makes clear that all these men enjoy the presumption of innocence, and that they will be given a fair trial.pic.twitter.com/sFWnE4hmio
The two women killed outside Zelevet received no trial at all. No presumption of innocence was extended to the children who died with them.pic.twitter.com/WG7SFjQ9ml

This is sad


1/2 In worst of all scenarios I might give them presumption on their marshall law murder of adults.But for mere toddlers who were sheepishly behind the percieved comfort backs of their mothers this has no excuse even in a Banana republic.
This world is a horrible place
@BBCAfrica his name is Barnabas Donossou Gorvi, you can search his profile on facebook, its there. Below are his pictures and profile, we hope these murderers will be punished.pic.twitter.com/snwuNopuKC
Horrible! No words for anyone who could do this.
No basis for this dastardly and insane act. Let them face the full wrath of the law by all means @bbc
