Prosecutors believe the 53-year-old suspect Gibril Massaquoi – who denies any wrongdoing – murdered, raped and mutilated civilians while he was in a high position in Revolutionary United Front.

It said a significant doubt remained over his participation in the suspected acts due to witnesses changing their testimonies.
