Lightning kills three in DRCongo cemetery: radio KINSHASA (AFP) Jan 08, 2006 Three people were killed by lightning in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a cemetery where they were attending a funeral, a UN-sponsored radio station reported Sunday. The incident took place Saturday at Tshikapa in Western Kasai province in the centre of the country. A bolt of lightning hit the funeral procession, killing three mourners outright and injuring several others, the radio said. The centre and east of DRCongo have been hit by violent storms in recent weeks as the rainy season has set in. All rights reserved. � 2005 Agence France-Presse.
