Rwanda’s Prosecutor General, Jean Bosco Mutangana has told IGIHE that they request the USA to investigate the presence of the suspect to be brought to book.
“We request USA investigation departments to follow up the matter, establish whether the man is on their territory to seize him and bring him to book based on the evidence we shared with the USA pinning the suspect for a role in the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi in Nyanza,” he said.
He highlighted that Rwanda’s Prosecution is ready to collaborate with USA for investigation in case they want to try him in the USA.
Nzigiyimfura known as the butcher of Nyanza for a role in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi has been hunted by Rwanda’s Prosecution and was reported living in Lilongwe, Malawi 10 years ago.
Reports indicate that he was accused by genocide convicts who narrated how Nzigiyimfura who was a businessman in Nyanza led different attacks during the genocide.
He had changed his names to Vincent Nzigiye when living in Malawi and run his businesses smoothly.
The African Rights report in 2009 released testimonies accusing Nzigiyimfura that he collaborated with soldiers, politicians, local leaders, business people and civilians who led killings in Nyanza, Kavumu, Remera and in different areas like Nyabisindu and Kigoma.
It is said that he also worked closely with Celestin Ugirashebuja who was the mayor of Commune Kigoma who fled to the United Kingdom.
Nzigiyimfura is also accused of having supported different people accused of role in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi to escape justice. His name was for several times heard in Gacaca courts alleged of involvement in setting roadblocks to seize Tutsi to be killed during the genocide.
