Eight members of a team trying to raise awareness about Ebola have been killed by villagers using machetes and clubs in Guinea.
Some of the bodies of health workers, local officials and journalists - were found in a septic tank in a village school near the city of Nzerekore.
BBC say many villagers are suspicious of official attempts to combat the disease.
More than 2,600 people have now died from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
It is the world's worst outbreak of Ebola, with officials warning that more than 20,000 people could ultimately be infected.
Neighbouring Sierra Leone has begun a controversial three-day curfew to try to stop the spread of the disease.
