After months of investigation (between March and August 2021 ) in the case of the death of Sister Esther Kalonji, it has been reported that Pastor Jean Mbaya was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison. After the decision, the Public Prosecutor has apparently appealed the sentence, considering it was insufficient given the gravity of the finding against Pastor Jean Mbaya Kalala. | |||
