The body was found on Thursday 23rd March 2023.
According to residents, the elderly man had been drinking banana brew (urwagwa) at Kibilizi market throughout the day. They believe that his death may be related to the heavy rain that poured down, leading them to suspect that he may have been washed away while attempting to cross a bridge.
The executive secretary of Kibilizi Sector, Viateur Habimana, has told IGIHE that upon learning about the incident, local leaders and Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) agents promptly responded and went to the scene. After conducting an investigation, it was established that the deceased was an elderly man who resided in Rutaro Village, Ruragwe Cell of Rubengera Sector.
The executive secretary of Kibilizi Sector advised residents to be cautious when crossing flooded rivers and to use strong bridges.
The body was taken to Kibuye Hospital for autopsy before burial.
