Bouterse dominated politics in the tiny South American country for decades
PARAMARIBO - Suriname 's fugitive former President Desi Bouterse has died aged 79, the country's government said on Wednesday, almost a year after he fled authorities to avoid jail following his conviction over the murder of 15 political activists in 1982.
The former leader died on Tuesday, the government said, without confirming where, or even which country. Last week Surinamese authorities raided his home - where supporters gathered to pay their respects on Wednesday morning - but did not find him. In 2019 he and six others were convicted for their role in the 1982 murders of 15 leading government critics - including lawyers, journalists, union leaders, soldiers and university professors - for which Bouterse received a 20-year prison sentence.
