The death of Moïse Mugenyi Kabagambe, murdered in a kiosk in Rio de Janeiro last week, has had repercussions in the international press.
The Congolese man worked at the establishment and was assaulted by at least three men after asking for payment of late fees for services rendered, according to the victim’s family.
