abc.net.au/news/what-we-know-about-mark-ciavarella-murder-in-the-congo/101887066The family of an Australian teacher thought to have been murdered in Central Africa were told he was planning to return home before he disappeared in October.

A video posted by a local media outlet appears to show an interview — conducted in French — with a prosecutor and two of the accused, which includes a purported confession."Then Mr Mark drank the poison."Mr Ciavarella, who grew up in the Riverina town of Leeton, moved to the Congo, a country of about 5.5 million people, six years ago.

His cousin, Ross Ciavarella, told the ABC in November that Mark was also a "very talented" musician who had made a strong friendship group in the Congo capital."He always turned up to his appointments and I think that's what really drove him as a teacher."Mr Ciavarella was reported missing on October 26 but his family in Australia weren't notified until nine days later, on November 4.

"But he's been there for a long time so ... he does know the lay of the land and how to conduct himself in a safe manner." On November 18, BrazzaNews posted a video to its Facebook page appearing to show Mr Clement detail the events before, during and after Mr Ciavarella's death.
