An Australian teacher working in the Republic of Congo was allegedly killed by his partner over fears of his return to his homeland and leaving him with nothing.
Mark Ciavarella, 57, had worked as a music teacher at an international school in the African country for six years before he was reported missing in October 2022.
Ciavarella was alleged to have been poisoned by flatmate and partner Clement Bebeka and one of his friends when they laced his drink before dumping his body into crocodile-infested Congo River.
