After days of thorough investigations, Police in Kamonyi District has arrested four suspects in connection with the cruel death of Fanuel Niyomufasha that occurred on December 28th 2011.
Among the arrested include Philemon Niyitanga a brother to deceased Niyomufasha. His head was chopped off from the rest of the body and thrown in a pit latrine.
Police reports that Niyitanga later confessed to have beheaded his brother with the help of the other three. He also offered to take police officers to where the head was buried.
During investigations police had established that both Niyitanga and his brother had been genocide suspects who had served time in prison.
Investigations further discovered that the two had been feuding over property for a long time that the dispute became irreconcilable.
Police spokesperson Superintendent Theos Badege strongly denounced the act calling it stupid and gutless.
“It’s a shame. This should not happen in society. People should always seek justice and arbitration through the right channels rather than take the law in their own hands that leads to such catastrophes,” Badege said.
All four suspects are due to be paraded in court to answer charges. They are likely to be handed life imprisonment once found guilty.
