The quartet aged five, seven, eight and thirteen years old were children to neighbors of the suspect who is a resident of Katabagemu Sector of Nyagatare District.
According to the Spokesperson of the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB), Modeste Mbabazi, the suspect was found with the four dead bodies after neighbors suspected him following cases of children missing in the area and they reported him to security officials.
“They went and searched his house where they found four dead bodies. He immediately admitted to have killed the children but he doesn’t reveal the reason he killed them. We are still investigating the matter to know what his intent was,” Modeste Mbabazi explained.
Mbabazi added that the victims are children to suspect’s neighbors who have no family relationship with him.
Murder attracts a life imprisonment sentence according to article 107 of the penal code.
