The second court hearing of the Catholic Sister Veronika Rackova who was shot and died in Yei was on Wednesday 26th 2022 again adjourned to February 16th 2022.

Report from the lawyer indicates that, the mobility to bring the alleged perpetrators from Yei was not done on time which made it unsuccessful for the suspects to appear before the court.

Early this month, Former Governor of the defunct Yei River State, David Lokonga Moses and SSPDF army official, Brigadier General Malong Agat appeared before the high court to explain the whereabouts of the culprits who committed the crime.

Brigadier General Agat during the first hearing said the five suspects were arrested, three of whom are SSPDF soldiers and two others are national security and counter intelligent officers.

He added that one among the five alleged criminals died and four others were in the run.

The first court hearing for late Sister Veronika Rackova who was shot by SPLA now SSPDF in Yei in 2016 started on 10th January at the High Court of South Sudan in Juba and is being presided over by Judge Sumeiya Salah.
