Former police officer found dead

RIB spokesperson Modeste Mbabazi has told IGIHE that CSP Hubert Gashagaza may have been strangled.

“The first person to report his death was a motorcyclist who saw him dead in the car around 5a.m. The driver’s window glass was smashed. The victim was found dead with cables that might have been used to strangle him around his neck still in the car.” He said.

The body was found in Ndera sector, Kicukiro District, where Chinese workers park trucks on a murram road, about 100 meters from the tarmac road.

The body of the deceased has been taken to hospital for a post-mortem.

Gashagaza had been demobilised from the National Police in August 2016. He has been serving as a local security guard locally known as Inkeragutabara.

RIB spokesperson said that his death was sudden because no one has been known to be in dispute with him.

Gashagaza served in Police Prosecution both in Rwanda and in Central African Republic on a UN peace keeping mission.
