Six Months ago, Gaspard Rudasingwa killed his wife Beltilde Nyiramana after the two disagreed over money. Rudasingwa killed and later dumped the body of his wife in a pit latrine at their home in Mbati cell Kamonyi District.
Until recently, residents of Mbati cell didn’t know the whereabouts of Nyiramana but were allegedly suspicious that something dubious could have happened.
However, Chantal Mukama reported the matter to police on 15th January 2011 that her sister Nyiramana was missing.
At the beginning of this week, Rudasingwa confessed during the police interrogation to killing his wife and keeping silent about the incident six months ago.
Rudasingwa is currently in detention at Rukoma police station. After thorough Police questioning Rudasingwa admitted that he had a fight with his wife over missing money he had given her to keep.
“I gave her Frw 100,000 then when I asked her for the money a few days later she gave me half of it. I immediately became furious because I wasn’t satisfied with excuses she gave. We later fought and I killed her, and then dumped her lifeless body in our pit latrine,” he disclosed.
Rudasingwa’s neighbours claim that disputes in the suspect’s house had been regular that’s why they didn’t intervene to rescue the deceased.
“Days after the fight which occurred on 2nd June last year, we asked Rudasigwa on the whereabouts of his wife, he simply replied that she had abandoned him.”
“Then later we suspected something mysterious on her disappearance since whenever we tried to call her phone it was off, yet some of his relatives who made frequent visits to their home asked us about Nyiramana’s location, meaning she was nowhere to be found. This prompted her sister Mukama to report the matter to police,” said Concensa a close friend to the deceased.
Neighbours became suspicious when Rudasingwa relocated to another cell barely after the disappearance of his wife. It is believed the suspect relocated to avoid frequent questions from friends on the whereabouts of his late wife.
Jean Marie Vianney Rwiririza the executive secretary of Mugina sector blamed the deceased neighbours for being silent over periodical assaults on Nyirimana.
“I encourage women in this sector to report matters of violence boldly in order to avoid simillar killings,” he advised.
The Rudasingwa and his late wife had three children.
