{{Mukanyagenzi Dativa a Commissioner in the Rwanda Correctional Service (RCS) has suprisingly forgiven the man that killed her father during the 1994 Genocide against Ethnic Tutsi.}}
The commissioner willingly took the initiative to visit Kadogi Paul at Nyanza Prison where he is serving a sentence after he was found guilty of genocide crime.
The two hugged at Nyanza Prison on April 10. Witnesses said non of them showed any signs of trauma.
Kadogi was a former Bourgmestre (an equivalent of todays district Mayor) of Nshili Commune in Gikongoro Prefecture.
In a Gruesome murder action, Kadogi speared in the head of Mukanyagenzi’s father killing him instantly and later mutilating his body and tied it onto his car and dragging it along the road while everyone was looking on.
While meeting at Nyanza prison, Kadogi and Mukanyagenzi excused themselves to a calm place and were seen engaged in a frank discussion however, Kadogi could be seen taking a very deep breaths during their conversation.
Kadogi later noted that he had been relieved after so many years after killing Mukanyangezi’s dad.
Kadogi said he had never had peace in his heart for the past 19 years after he tortured and killed several Ethnic Tutsi’s especially using the power he had as a district Bourgmestre.
Meanwhile Mukanyagenzi said her gesture to meet Kadogi was meant to extend forgiveness to him and to show others in her situation to learn how to forgive those that have hurt them.
