Burundi Police has handed over a Rwandan national suspected of murdering Colette Munyana 19.
Jacques Shumbusho 23 allegedly murdered Munyana on March 12, 2012 and fled to neighbouring Burundi.
The Prime suspect was handedover to Rwanda National Police on Saturday at Akanyaru boarder post. The Bourgmestre of Kabarore in Burundi and his Rwanda mayor of Nyaruguru district, Francis Habitegeko were present.
Shumbusho was arrested in Burundi after the Burundian Police was notified about the Rwandan criminal who was on the run.
He has been held at Kayanza prison for nearly three month as Burundian Interpol office liaised with their Rwandan counterparts.
He was deported after completing Interpol transfer procedures. Shumbusho had sought refuge in Burundi to evade justice.
However, due to the bilateral cooperation of the Police forces of the sister countries he was apprehended and is set to face justice.
He is currently held at Nyaruguru Police Station while investigation continues.
“Shumbusho has been handed over to the Police who will have to observe the normal procedure of handling a criminal case by holding him for not more than 72 hours before handing him to the prosecution,” Police Spokesperson Superintendent Theos Badege said.
