US missionary Charles Wesco shot dead in Cameroon
31 October 2018
A US missionary has been killed in Cameroon about two weeks after moving there with his wife and eight children.
Charles Wesco was in a car with his wife, son, another missionary and a driver on their way to a market in the city of Bamenda when he was shot.
He was caught in cross-fire between the security forces and separatist fighters, a government statement said.
The country's two English-speaking provinces have been hit by more than a year of deadly violence.
