Speaking to IGIHE, Gasabo District Vice-mayor in charge of social affairs, Languida Nyirabahire said that they started searching for the bodies after information from the owner of the plot where the pit is located. She said remains of about 100 victims have been found.
“The plot had been sold three times. The third buyer is the one who informed us; others might have got information about it and decided to resell. Searching for other remains is ongoing,” she said.
“There is a big pit which people are still digging searching for remains, but there are others which we are not sure about where victims were thrown. The person who informed us is not sure about where they were thrown, but we are still searching,” Nyirabahire explained.
Nyirabahire said that it is terrible to have bodies which are not yet found 24 years after the genocide.
“We always encourage people to inform us about where genocide victims were thrown for them to be given decent burial,” she added.
