AFP reports that he was killed on Saturday while walking home with some aides and police officers. One of the three officers accompanying him was also killed in the incident.

Radio journalist Jean-Baptiste Bireha said he was talking with Feruzi at the precise moment when the attackers appeared and started firing. He said the gunmen were clad in uniforms similar to those worn by the presidential guard.
