And a great loss to those of us who love coloured gemstones.

He was a fascinating man. I hope there will be some justice for his family

Whilst being awful and I am deeply sorry for his family it's not really a surprise whatsoever and he will have known the risks as most people do with venturing into countries like that!

I mean, have you seen what the Kenyan miners do to the people they 'employ'? Rape, machete attacks, beatings... the list goes on!

Where there's oil or diamonds / precious stones there is always terrible atrocities going on, most are unreported!
