Police in Bugesera district on Friday arrested a woman for killing a man using a hoe handle.<\/p>\n
Festiannette Mukaminega, a resident of Kagasa cell, Mwogo sector, Bugesera district repeatedly hit Jean Damascene Rutembesa with a hoe handle severely injuring him. <\/p>\n
Rutembesa was hit while fighting with Mukaminega\u2019s husband over a domestic dispute.<\/p>\n
According to Police the two men had been at odds for sometime over irreconcilable domestic misunderstanding that culminated in a fight.<\/p>\n
Rutembesa was rushed to ADEPR Nyamata hospital for medical attention where he later died from severe wounds.<\/p>\n
Mukaminega who is detained at Nyamata Police station is likely to be sentenced to life imprisonment once found guilty.<\/p>\n
Police spokesperson Superintendent Theos Badege said that such incidences were uncommon and called on society to avoid disputes that end in violence.<\/p>\n
He noted that domestic crimes were a result of family feuds that have taken place over long periods of time. \u201cThere is always a better option of solving family wrangles rather than taking matters in ones hand. Rwandans should always strive to solve family wrangles amicably and seek outside intervention from courts of law or even local arbitration,\u201d Badege said.<\/p>\n
He called on Rwandans to be vigilant and report family wrangles to relevant authorities as a means to avert any grave criminal incidents that may arise.<\/p>\n
Rwanda National Police urge families to always seek justice intervention in case of family feuds to avoid committing serious crimes that may arise as a result of rash uninformed decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
