Rachelle Bergeron

High profile murder case in FSM to finally proceed after Covid delays

Anthony Teteeth and Frances Buchun are charged in connection with the murder of Yap State's former acting Attorney-General, Rachelle Bergeron.

The US citizen was shot outside her home in October 2019 in a rare act of violence for the small island state.

The Yap State and FSM National court cases concerning the killing have been delayed, hampered by a travel ban announced in January because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
