Fr. Aldo Marchiol

Missionary with a Gentle Smile

Fr. Aldo Marchiol (65 years old), Fr. Ottorino Maule (54) and Ms. Catina Gubert (75) were killed in the mission house with one gunshot in the head each. The three missionaries who had worked many years in Burundi, were ordered to kneel down and then were executed. These mission- aries received threats many times by the government army, for speaking on behalf of local people, and for the way army officers reported the killings in Burundi.
