Former army sergeant major Robert Kabera was a popular YouTuber and singer, who had sought asylum in Uganda.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets identify the same man as an exiled or former Rwandan soldier and center the fact that his body was found beheaded in Uganda. The BBC foregrounds his identity as a popular YouTuber and singer who had sought asylum in Uganda, while the South China Morning Post adds the police account, places the discovery near Kampala, and mentions the broader accusation that Rwandan authorities have targeted opponents of Paul Kagame.
