Two years from the cold-blooded murder of Lassana Cisse, his family in the Ivory Coast is calling for justice, as friends and family struggle to come to terms with the racially motivated assassination.
To add to their pain, the coronavirus has further delayed the repatriation of Lassana’s body, with ports being closed to curb the pandemic.
His cousin, Abdoulaye spoke to
Times of Malta about a sense of “fatigue” that has blanketed the family over the past 24 months.
“He was killed in the street like an animal. Since then, his mother, for whom Lassana was an only child, has been taken ill and she just keeps asking when she is going to see his body,” he told Times of Malta over the phone, breaking down in tears.
