The murder of Andres Escobar

It's 30 years since the murder of Colombian footballer, Andres Escobar.

Just days before his fatal shooting, Escobar had scored an own goal for Colombia at the 1994 World Cup.

He had been blamed for his country's early exit from the tournament and many linked his death directly to his mistake on the pitch.

Matt Pintus has been through the BBC World Service archive, listening to interviews with the Colombian journalist Luis Fernando Restrepo, a friend of Escobar's who saw him on the night he was killed.
