The court heard how Ulimo had destroyed the county's referral hospital, raped and murdered dozens of citizens, including chopping open a schoolteacher's chest with an axe.
He said Kamara took one brother a short distance away, and the witness heard a gunshot. He then saw his brother's dead body. There was a moment of levity in the court when the witness said he was one of his father's 150 children, prompting some laughter. But the heavy mood returned when he said Ulimo killed 15 of his uncles.
"If you look at the stories of what Ulimo did in Foya you will see no end," the witness told the court. One of the witnesses told the court that he had seen Mr Kamara kill his sister's son. Kunti arrived at the family house with"so many bodyguards", he said. Some were children, some were full-grown men, he said. The only name he remembered was a rebel known as"Saddam Hussein."
Under Ulimo commanders, scores of men were forced to dismantle the generator from the town's LEC power station. The parts were then put in a pick-up truck that was not working and they were forced to push it more than 20 kilometres to a town near the Guinea border.
