He walked upto Kanombe but sought help along the way but he wasn\u2019t helped at all. He arrived at Kanombe at midnight. <\/p>\n

IGIHE managed to linkup with Rutindura at Kacyiru Police hospital. He said, he doesn\u2019t know the people who attakced him and doesn\u2019t know the motorcycle driver.<\/p>\n

Rutindura says this is the third time he has been attacked in the manner by unknown people leaving him severely injured. <\/p>\n

Two years ago, Rutindura had visited his grandmother in Butare, Matyazo village. <\/p>\n

He was on a bicycle when he was stopped by two unknown people. He was attacked in the process and they broke his arm. He managed to escape after fighting them off.<\/p>\n

Last year, he was returning from work at Akagera Motors just outside the gate he was attacked by unknown people but rescued by a friend.<\/p>\n

Rutindura is a survivor of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n

He is currently battling a court case involving demand for right to assume custody for his parents property including land, houses and cattle. <\/p>\n

The Commission for the fight against Genocide CNLG has been following up his case.<\/p>\n

Yolande Mukagasana an Advisor at CNLG told IGIHE that the commission is aware of Rutinduras case.<\/p>\n

However in this court case, someone identified as Gahenda alleged that Rutindura is a Burundian and not a Rwandan and thus has no right to claim for the said property.<\/p>\n

\u201cDNA tests have been conducted to assertain Rutindura\u2019s heritage. We are waiting for the results,\u201dsaid Mukagasana adding that , \u201cI cant elaborate more about the details.lets wait for the DNA results.\u201d<\/p>\n
