The girl who was an agent selling airtime was murdered by gangs as she returned from work around 8:40 p.m. in 200 meters from her parents’ home.
The incident occurred in Cyimpindu Cell of Kilimbi Sector.
It is said that the hooligans robbed one bag she carried on the back, another small one held in hand that contained two phones and stabbed her on the throat.
The executive secretary of Cyimpundu Cell, Cécile Mukakayumba has said that they dumped her body alongside the path following the incident.
As parents of the deceased accompanied her mother-in-law who had visited them, they saw a lot of blood on the footpath raising suspicion that it could be an animal killed there until they lit a torch and found it was their daughter.
They alerted local leaders and security officials who rushed the girl to a nearby health center but were informed that she had died upon arrival.
The body was taken to Kibogora Hospital for autopsy and returned home for burial on 15th April 2022.
The Acting Executive Secretary of Kilimbi Sector, Odette Mukamugema has told IGIHE that there are eight people arrested over suspected conspiracy in the death of Nyampinga.
“We have extended our condolences to the bereaved family and requested residents to always report people seen roaming because they are often the ones behind theft. We have also encouraged them to provide tip off to leaders on whoever suspected to be connected to the death,” she noted.
The girl had been also ambushed two years ago by gangs who stole her phone worth Rwf110,000.
The eight suspects are detained at Kanjongo RIB Post.
