Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Uganda Col Joseph Rutabana has said his office is following up on the circumstances surrounding the death of a Rwandan businessman, identified as Fred Kayitare, who was found dead on Friday, last week.<\/p>\n

According to media reports in Uganda, Kayitare died in the custody of the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), the investigative body of the Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the 33-year-old died after reportedly falling from the second floor of the CMI building in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, where he was apparently being interrogated for a yet to be established offence.<\/p>\n

“I am actually on my way to meet with his parents. I can’t disclose any further information at the moment as the issue is still under investigation,” Rutabana told The New Times in a phone call.<\/p>\n

News about Kayitare’s passing was first reported by Ugandan news outlets on Monday, August 21.<\/p>\n

According to Uganda’s Daily Monitor, during a vigil held in Kampala on Sunday, August 20, Kayitare’s widow, disclosed that plans were underway to repatriate her husband’s body to Rwanda for burial.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson for Rwanda National Police, CP John Bosco Kabera, said the issue was being managed by the Rwandan High Commission in Uganda.<\/p>\n
