Brother of the late Firmin Mahe, Dahou Koulai Jacques (R) arrives to court in Paris on December 7, 2012 during the trial of four French former soldiers, including a colonel, for killing a man in Ivory Coast in 2005 during a peacekeeping mission in the west African country. The accused say they acted under orders to kill Firmin Mahe, who was suffocated to death while travelling in a French military vehicle. Mahe's death on May 13, 2005, led to the sacking of General Henri Poncet, who was in command of the 4,000-strong peacekeeping mission.
