Bertoua: Two Suspected Thieves Lynched and Burned by the Crowd

Two men suspected of pickpocketing were caught behind the Sainte-Famille Cathedral in Bertoua and handed over to an angry crowd. The crowd lynched them and set their bodies on fire on the spot, with no official confirmation of the accusations or the exact circumstances. Firefighters intervened the following morning to clean the scene. This incident occurred shortly after the re-enactment of Philomène Dambaki's murder in Bertoua, which had involved security forces.
