The executive secretary of Giheke Sector, Hagenimana Jean de Dieu told IGIHE, “She [Bayavuge Béatrice] was coming from Kamashangi but as she reached near her home, at the forest, she met criminals who strangled her using a scarf she wore. We suspect that they also raped her. The investigations are still going on.”
