The four suspects arrested in connection with the death of
Monique Koumateke under still to be cleared circumstances were released on bail,
March 15.
The lady who carried out the ‘surgical operation,’ Rose
Tacke, the Laquantinie Hospital mortuary
attendant,Luc Monga , the midwife and the first nurse gained their freedom
after they were presented before examining Magistrates of the Bonanjo Court
of First instance, Douala.

Defense lawyers said the matter is far from over. “Investigations are going on.
We do simply
expect justice to be done,” said one of the lead counsels ,Guy Olivier Moteng, , March 15 2016.
We gathered from the defense team that Rose Tacke and Luc
Monga have been charged with profanation,(of corpses), with the latter considered
an accomplice. But for the intervention of the defense team, the first two
suspects,

Tacke and Monga, would have been hastily transferred by judicial authorities to the Newbell Prison
to await trial. They would therefore be notified of their appearance in court
on a still to be announced date.
CASE AGAINST LAQUINTINIE PROSPERS
The defense team of more than 20 lawyers’ succeeded to file
their case against Laquantinie Hospital . The Director, Jean II Dissongo and the
institution have been sued for not providing assistance to people in danger and distress and
for voluntary homicide.
The same charges we are informed, risk applying to the
midwife and the first nurse.
Legal experts said the cases would have surprises given
some circumstances.
The state is expected
to prove that Monique Koumateke, died before reaching the hospital as the embattled Health
Minister, Andre Mama Fouda already argued March 13 2016, a day after the incident.

The family and
the defense team may certainly object such claims and would eventually insist
that the real intention of Rose Tacke was to try save the fetuses in the wake
of the lackluster attitude of medical staff.
They would also need to provide evidence that one of the babies was alive after the ‘operation,’ but died later as it was reported.
Another issue which would have to be proven is negligence on the part of the midwife and other nurses who are reported to have 'prescribed' the blades and other items used in the ‘surgery operation.’

| PROTESTS ABROAD |
The Laquantinie hospital scandal has sparked off outrage
among Cameroonians in the diaspora.
Protest demonstrations against a poor, obsolete and failed health care system in Cameroon and the demand for justice for Monique Koumateke have taken place in Paris, France and Washington, USA.
Other protests have reportedly been billed for Cameroonian embassies and diplomatic representations abroad, in the days ahead, pending the removal of Monique Koumateke's corpse.
