Tuesday evening, three girls were found dead. They are said to have been sex workers.
This brings the number of sex workers killed mysteriously to fifteen in just a period of one month in Kigali city alone.
The dead have been identified as Cynthia, Vestina and Alfonsine.
However, the reason for their killing has not yet been established.
The three were found dead in Nyamabuye, Gatsata Sector within Kigali city.
Yankurije, a housemate to the deceased told IGIHE that the trio died on Tuesday at about 4PM.
She narrated that she overheard Cynthia saying she needed a man and just a few minutes later Vestine also said “lets go find men”.
The two later moved out of the house laughing as usual to attract clients as always when they are out to hook men.
As Yankurije narrated, the girls returned with men.
She identified one man as light skinned and another was in his early 30’s.
She added that the men were not saying anything but the girls kept talking too much and Yankurije got scared and became curious of what was going on in the house after the girls had returned with their catch.
However, after sometime, the two men walked out of the house. The ladies were silent and their fellow sex workers in the neighbourhood came calling them but there was no response from inside the closed room.
Later their friends opened the door only to find them dead. They had been strangled with sheets of cloth. And at the scene there were many used condoms.
Yankurije said she was living with them but didn’t know all their names saying they were new to in the area.
