RIB is yet to establish the number of the victims, but reports indicate they are more than ten.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to The New Times on Wednesday, September 6, RIB spokesperson Thierry Murangira said Kazungu had been arrested earlier on in July on charges of theft, rape, robbery and use of threats but was granted bail because there wasn\u2019t enough evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Thierry Murangira, the spokesperson for Rwanda Investigation Bureau. File<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigations continued regarding his case until he was rearrested and his home was searched. The investigators found a pit he had dug in his kitchen, where he used to bury those he killed,\u201d Murangira said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that RIB has deployed forensic investigation experts to the crime scene to find out the number of the victims and their identity, before Kazungu\u2019s file is processed and submitted to the prosecutors.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect is currently being held at Kicukiro RIB station.<\/p>\n<p>In an interrogation, Kazungu told investigators that he always found his victims in the bar. He would convince them to go with him to his home. After reaching his residence, he would commit rob and assault them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRIB thanks all residents of Rwanda for their continuous collaboration by providing information, so that suspects are presented before justice,\u201d RIB\u2019s statement read, adding that the information provided helps in thwarting other possible criminal plans.<\/p>\n<p>Murangira called upon anyone with any more information regarding Kazungu to share it by visiting RIB\u2019s Kicukiro station or calling its toll free line (116).<\/p>\n<p>If convicted, Kazungu may be sentenced to life imprisonment, the heaviest sentence that can be prescribe under Rwanda&#8217;s criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hudson Kuteesa Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
