JS Kabylie’s return after Albert Ebossé’s death shows lessons have not been learned

• New autopsy claims Albert Ebossé was beaten to death in Algeria

Last August, Albert Ebossé Bodjongo, JS Kabylie’s Cameroonian striker, was killed by his own supporters.

JS Kabylie conceded a goal in the final seconds of injury time, and projectiles rained onto both sets of players filing into Stade 1er Novembre’s tunnel. A block of cement from a section of the stadium undergoing construction hit Ebossé in the head causing severe cranial trauma. He succumbed to his injuries a few minutes later, haemorrhaging to death.
