Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Rwandan genocide accused, Fulgence Kayishema, returned to court in Cape Town briefly on Friday to hear that the number of charges against him are increasing.
He is accused of being involved in the death of about 2 000 people in a Rwandan church in 1994.
Kayishema was expected to apply for bail on the initial immigration and fraud charges he faces, in addition to the genocide charges that he is expected to eventually face at an international tribunal.
Prosecutor Nathan Adriaanse said he had received two lever arch files containing investigation details and he was still drafting the indictment.
“At this stage I am on count 17,” he submitted.
So far, Kayishema faces charges of violating immigration and asylum laws for allegedly being in possession of fraudulent documents at the time of his arrest in Paarl.
The case was postponed to 7 June, for the charge sheet to be handed to his lawyer so that he can apply for bail.
