A former member of District Administration Security Support Organ (DASSO) in Kayonza district identified as Hategekimana Edgar is suspected of having strangled his wife Musabyimana Agnes, to death after which she fled the area. The deceased was 25.
The police spokesperson in Eastern Province, IP Emmanuel Kayigi has told IGIHE that Hategekimana, 32, is suspected to have committed the murder yesterday morning hours.
IP Kayigi explained that clashes between Hategekimana and wife erupted in the evening of Saturday 4th February 2017 around 6.00pm.
He said that Hategekimana had deserted DASSO service and lived in Bara village of Rubimba cell if Kabare sector.
Kayigi has told IGIHE that Hategekimana had two children with the deceased but their relationship soured when he got another concubine that might have caused the misunderstandings.
Kayigi said that clashes were ignited by heated arguments when Hategekimana started beating the wife who has accused him of adultery, she tried to run away but was restrained by the husband.
“It is apparent that such a fight caused the death because Hategekimana called his little brother at 5:00 hours asking him to come and stay at his house saying he had a trip,” he said.
The brother arrived at 7:00 pm with the door open and found the woman dead at the bed with signs that he had been strangled.
IP Kayigi said that residents witnessed their fight but never reached out to them considering it a minor clash. He however said that neighbours will be brought to book for keeping quiet over the incident which culminated into death.
