CWN Editor's Note: One of three Benedictine monks who were kidnapped in Nigerian last week has been killed; the other two have been released.
Brother Godwin Eze was killed on the day after the abduction, the survivors reported. The armed men who kidnapped the monks shot him and tossed his body in a river. They then threatened the two other monks, demanding money, before releasing them.
