Dominican Police investigating the murder of Malian journalist Diakite Pierre can't exclude the theory that he might have been murdered by a fellow journalist, while saying that they believe that his death was more likely to have been an accident than anything else, according to Diario Libre. Pierre, who was in the DR for a conference of the International Association for Boxing Aficionados, was found dead in the elevator shaft of the Hotel Melia in Santo Domingo on 6 November. Police have pointed out that Pierre was opposed to the re-election of the Association's current president, which could have led to tensions with other journalists, but members of Pierre's delegation dispute that argument, saying that he had no problems with anyone. Police say that his body was found with multiple injuries, and are calling his death "mysterious" at this stage. Investigations are ongoing and officials will interview hotel staff and conference participants in order to gather information.
