The suspect was arrested in Kayonza district as he fled.
The executive secretary of Gatore sector, Antoine Iyamuremye has told IGIHE that they learnt about the murder on Thursday morning around 9:00 am after being alerted by neighbors.
“Residents called us around 9:00 am informing us that they visited late Nyiransabimana at her home where they found no person but saw blood. They followed traces of blood until they found her body covered with grasses in a canoe,” he said.
“We immediately rushed to the crime scene. We called the woman’s phone that was answered by the husband saying that he is around. When we used another person to call him, his husband said that he is in Kayonza. We alerted security officials in Kayonza to arrest him,” added Iyamuremye.
He noted that the suspect had borrowed the boat on the pretext of using it to produce banana beer which he never did before.
