At least 100 men, women and children were slaughtered in a mainly-Christian village in Mali by heavily-armed Islamist extremists on 10 June.
It was described as the worst massacre in Mali since 1946. Jihadists encircled the isolated village of ethnic Dogon people at night and set fire to everything that moved in a well-targeted attack.
Many of the victims’ bodies were burnt – some charred beyond recognition. There are difficulties identifying the remains and the death toll is currently estimated to be between 100 and 135 people.
