Jean de Dieu Habiyakare, 21, a resident of Butare Cell, Nduba Cell of Gasabo District reportedly told neighbors that the girl with whom they had cohabited for two weeks had gone missing on January 7th and that he assumed she might have left to her parents\u2019 home which was not known. <\/p>\n
However, neighbors questioned the allegation failing to understand how the young woman who was a tailor could have left without bidding farewells to any neighbor or friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe failed to account for how her girlfriend had left when they asked where she had gone,\u201d Nduba Sector Executive Secretary, Jean Damasc\u00e8ne Harerimana told IGIHE.<\/p>\n
On Monday, as nobody could establish the whereabouts of the deceased, neighbours decided to go to his house for a search.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the searching process, they found a mattress stained with with blood spots which he had tried to wash out. They later discovered a ditch covered with banana leaves with a swarm of flies hovering about it. When they dug up the ditch, they found the deceased body which had started decaying,\u201d Harerimana explained.<\/p>\n
Habiyakare was arrested by neighbours and handed him to Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) along with two other suspects including his father who is accused of hiding information from officials yet, it is suspected, that knew his daughter in law had been murdered. Also arrested is a neighbor who had not disclosed that he saw the suspect digging the pit. <\/p>\n
The deceased was only known as Mahoro, but her official identity is not yet established.<\/p>\n
