During trial proceedings, Ntigurirwa pleaded guilty of having killed his wife Uwimana Florence but denied to have used a hoe to kill the wife as alleged. <\/p>\n
The latter has claimed to have killed the wife accidentally with a stick and requested for a lenient punishment. <\/p>\n
The crime was committed in the night of 4th February 2021. <\/p>\n
The ruling was read in absentia of the accused yesterday at the court\u2019s headquarters of Muhanga Intermediary Court. <\/p>\n
The presiding judge, Kankindi Olive cited three reasons pinning the suspect. <\/p>\n
The fact that the suspect pleaded guilty for murder without explaining how the crime was committed, she said, doesn\u2019t allow Ntigurirwa a lenient punishment. <\/p>\n
Among others, Kankindi said that the severity of the crime and related consequences when he killed wife, and having planned to kill wife with a hoe which he hit on the wife\u2019s head several times pins Ntigurirwa.<\/p>\n
