‘Distrust’
Families of the deceased auditors have since expressed fear that government hired pathologists will not be fair since in fact, government chief spokesman has earlier said those individuals were not auditors.
Information Minister Legerhood Rennie recently told the BBC that the government is concerned with the deaths of the four, but ruled out that they were auditors.
