A local radio station that has been involved in efforts to stop the spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo has closed down after one of its journalists was murdered.
Staff at Lwemba Radio in the eastern town of Mambasa say they have received numerous threats and have stopped broadcasting for safety reasons.
On 2nd November a radio presenter, Papy Mumbere Mahamba, was killed in his home after hosting an Ebola awareness program.
Nearly 2,200 people have died from the virus since the outbreak began last year.
Local fears and superstitions have led to attacks on health workers which have undermined the effort to stop the virus spreading.
