Instead, on the afternoon of Friday 25 September, a Let L-410 Turbolet came down on a residential plot in Kenge, in the Democratic Republic of Congo's Kwango province, and nobody on board survived.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Among the dead were two of the most senior figures in Congo's military justice system: Lieutenant General Joseph Mutombo Katalayi Tiende, president of the High Military Court, and Lieutenant General Lucien-Ren\u00e9 Likulia Bakumi, auditor general of the armed forces (FARDC). In a single afternoon, the country lost the head of its top military court and its chief military prosecutor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Officials say the aircraft developed a technical problem en route and the crew tried to put it down at Kenge.

The L-410 crashed short of that, onto a residential plot in the town. Local reports say nobody on the ground was hurt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Congolese outlet Oeil d'Afrique reports that the aircraft left Kikwit at 13:50 and crashed at around 14:05 local time. That timing has not yet been confirmed by the investigators, and the flight recorder had not been recovered by Friday evening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The aircraft was operated by Tracep Congo Aviation, a Congolese charter company, and was carrying a military delegation plus crew. Registration details published by aviation trackers point to 9S-GUC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2103540725271163030&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:400px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The first reports reached aviation watchers on social media within hours.

The Numbers Still Disagree<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The death toll is still unsettled. Reuters and aviation outlets including AeroTime and aeroTELEGRAPH reported 13 dead. The Associated Press reported 14, quoting the army spokesman. Oeil d'Afrique, citing the vice-governor, put it at 17: sixteen adults and a baby.
