Two U.N. experts who were missing in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been found dead, officials said according to BBC.
The bodies of U.S. citizen Michael Sharp and Swedish national Zaida Catalan were discovered in the central Kasai region, a government spokesman said. They were abducted two weeks ago after going to Kasai to investigate reports of abuses after local rebels took up arms. 
Some 40 police officers were found beheaded in the region at the weekend. Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende confirmed reports of the discovery to the BBC.  Sharp and Catalan were taken, along with four Congolese support staff, into the forest near the village of Ngombe in Kasai. 
The Congolese government is fighting a rebel group which operates in the area and is believed to have kidnapped the experts. The violence in Kasai was sparked by the killing of traditional leader Kamuina Nsapu, who was leading an uprising against President Joseph Kabila.
