Police in Rusizi district are looking for a nurse identified as Desiré Ngirabacu who is alleged to have killed a patient by the names Alphonse Muhigana by injecting him with an overdose of Peniciline anti-biotic.
The nurse disclosed details about the death through her close friend Apolline Uzamukunda who stays at the dispensary’s compound known as Gira Ubuzima located in Rusizi town.
Uzamukunda noted that the nurse gave her keys of the dispensary on 26th January 2012 in the evening something she has done before, then later called her to explain about the death of a patient whom she had locked in one of the dispensary’s rooms.
“When she first gave me the keys she looked uneasy. Later at about 7PM she called me on her cell phone to explain that she had unintentionally injected Muhigana 3 injections of peniciline anti biotic after which the patient reacted weirdly by vomiting and bleeding from his nose and acted as if he was epileptic.”
“She told me after seeing those scary signs she had no doubt that the patient would eventually die. She said she was afraid to face the family of the deceased due to fear of being sued or punished.”
“I think that’s why she ran away. The nurse has been a good person I wonder how she can do such a stupid thing,”she explained.
It is believed that the nurse ran to an undisclosed place since she’s nowhere to be found and neither her best friends know her whereabouts. She can’t be reached on her cell phone anymore.
The deceased was buried on 27th at Karambi cell in Nyanza district.
