}

Residents of the location in which dead bodies were found told Radio Flash that sex workers may be behind the horrendous act.

“In this locality, there are children from 14 to 15 years engaged in prostitution and others below. Probably they are responsible for the dreadful act,” said one resident.
“The crime is commonly done by dismissed domestic maids who engage in prostitution,” said another resident.

The executive secretaries of Kabahizi cell, Mukarutabana Angelique also suspects sex workers to be the culprits.

“We have found bodies of two babies in box. Investigations are ongoing to pursue the offender but the major suspects are prostitutes. Police are handling the case,” she said.

{I really love this quote “you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough”. There are certain mistakes and wrong things almost everyone does in life and many don’t even realise it until it’s too late.}

Below are some of those wrong things you ought to stop doing.

{{1. NOT KEEPING IN TOUCH AS YOU OUGHT TO}}

You probably have that old friend or relative that’s a bit far from you and you always keep promising and planning to call or pay a visit — which you never do. Most times, you get to regret this when the person is no more or when it’s just too late.

It’s important to keep in touch with your friends, family and loved ones — never wait till it’s too late.

{{2. GETTING USED TO FAVOURS}}

People get used to favours after it’s been done repeatedly and worse still, many get used to favours to the point where they now demand it as a right. If someone does a favour for you for a thousand times, appreciate it a thousand times.

{{3. NOT APPRECIATING THE LITTLE THINGS}}

People take things for granted to the point where little things don’t matter to them anymore. Don’t wait till you reach a huge milestone before you celebrate or appreciate it. Appreciate the little things in life, even if it’s just the simple things like being alive.

{{4. SEEKING OTHER PEOPLE’S VALIDATION}}

This is another wrong thing many people do in life. When you live your life according to what other people might say or do then you are living the wrong way. You don’t have to live your life seeking validation from others.

{{5. TYING THEIR HAPPINESS TO MATERIAL THINGS AND OTHERWISE}}

You must have surely heard someone say “I’d be happy when I have a new car” or “I’d be happy when I’m married”. The truth is that people like this would rarely get happy after tying their happiness to an item, even when they actualise their goals.

When you tie your happiness to something, you don’t live in today anymore and that’s a risk.

{{6. FEEL EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT}}

Many people feel that everything has to be perfect before they become happy or live a fulfilled life. This is a terrible way to live your life. Things can’t always be perfect; try to find happiness even in today’s imperfection.

{{7. TO THINK PROBLEMS SHOULD GO AWAY QUICKLY}}

Everyone hates to be faced with life’s challenges and many only wish that problems should come and go quickly. Life could bring certain challenges and rather than wish them away, face the challenges with all determination, while still living life to the fullest.

{{8. LIVE LIFE ON WISHES }}

It’s good to have goals, it’s good to have ambitions, but it’s terrible to live life on wishes. Have goals, have ambitions, have dreams and work hard to achieve them. It’s wrong to only keep wishing and wishing – and many people are guilty of this.

{{9. LIVING IN REGRET}}

Many live their life in regrets and the worst part about living in regrets is that regrets wouldn’t solve the problem or even bring a solution; it would only make things worse for you.

Like Paulo Coelho once said: “People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.” Think about the wrong things you do continually in life and try to stop them.

{Police in Rulindo District have arrested two men who allegedly plotted to rob a Kigali-bound truck carrying alcoholic drinks along Musanze-Kigali highway. }

Police identified the suspects as Eric Ndayisaba and Pierre Rutaganda currently detained at Shyorongi police station.

On January 12, around midnight in Rusiga Sector, the duo is said to have mounted a moving truck belonging to Bralirwa as it transported hundreds beer crates.

Police managed to recover 87 crates although 46 others were still missing by press time.
‎The crates were ‎recovered from the suspects.
“We thank the public that tipped us as the robbery was under way since some of the stolen crates were hidden in about 800 metres away from the scene of robbery,” said the Supt. Nkeramugaba.

He added that when people take part in maintaining their security, fighting criminality becomes easy.

{The addiction to spending much time on social media has resulted into Long time exposure on Social media has resulted into some individuals failing to fulfill their home responsibilities and requested the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF) has observed. }

{If you are in a serious relationship with your partner or already engaged, there are certain things you should know before getting married.}

People get eager to get married without actually preparing for being married. Not every couple remain satisfied after five years into their marriage, and that’s a cause for concern.

There are some important things research has found that you can actually learn from.

{{1. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND FINANCIALLY}}

Finance is one aspect that many couples shy away from until they get married and this is very risky. One study found that almost 80% of couples who divorce cite financial debt as a reason. Couples should know where each other stand financially before getting married. Debts, source of income and every other important financial information should be made known so that it won’t lead to hiccups when finally married.

{{2. HOW YOU TALK}}

How you talk when married is also important. According to a research published in the journal Psychology and aging, couples who use couple-focused words such as “we” and “us” during conflicts tend to have better affection for each other and less anger. While words like ‘I” and “me” was linked to marital dissatisfaction.

{{3. LEARN TO LAUGH AND SHARE JOKES WITH EACH OTHER}}

It’s also important for couples to have a good sense of humour. Recent research has shown that couples with better sense of humour have fewer symptoms of physical illness than those who don’t.

{{4. SLEEP PATTERNS}}

A 2010 study by researchers from University of Pittsburgh found that couples who have similar sleep patterns reported higher satisfaction in their marriage. They had more sex, spent more time together and had less conflicts than couples with different sleep patterns. The study was published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.

{{5. MORE SEX WOULD HELP YOUR MARRIAGE}}

Research has shown that lovemaking is highly important in marriage and couples who have an active sex life have a boost in their general well-being.

{{6. NUMBER OF CHILDREN}}

The number of children should also be agreed by both partners and the finance of taking care of those kids should be taken into cognizance. When finance is poor and there are too many kids to be taken care of, the marriage would most likely be an unhappy one.

{Theft of domestic animals during night has forced residents of Cyungo sector, Rulindo district, to accommodate them (animals) inside their houses, triggering another risk of contracting disease. }

Talking to members of the press, the residents said that they are left with no option other than accommodating the animals inside their residences.

“No one can dare leave a domestic animal in the shed or kitchen overnight since thieves may steal them,” said one resident.

“Nothing is nowadays kept outside overnight. Even pigs are accommodated inside houses,” said another resident.

The citizens say that they conduct patrols but still thieves go behind them and steal animals and other properties. They however criticize the light punishment given in case a thief is caught red handed, saying most are released within a short time.

The governor of Northern province, Bosenibamwe Aimé, has however discouraged residents from sleeping with animals in their houses.

‘We requested all residents with cows to build communal cow shades to facilitate communal herding and breeding,” he said.
