Relatives and other mourners watch as the body of South Sudanese journalist Peter Julius Moi is taken into the mortuary in Juba, South Sudan Thursday, 20 August 2015

Gunmen have killed South Sudan reporter Peter Julius Moi by shooting him twice in the back in the capital, Juba, his family said after identifying his body. He is the seventh journalist to be killed this year in South Sudan, where a civil war is ongoing.
His killing comes days after President Salva Kiir threatened to kill reporters "working against the country".

A presidential spokesman said the words were taken out of context and police were investigating Mr Moi's death.

Ateny Wek Ateny said a statement would be issued to clarify President Kiir's remarks, made at the airport in Juba before he went to Ethiopia for peace talks to end the civil war.
