A 33-year-old man, Kabera Samuel, died after being shot by security forces while being taken to investigate a murder on the night of December 13, 2023.

 Kabera, who was arrested on suspicion of killing Sibomana Emmanuel, a survivor of the Genocide against the Tutsi, died while trying to escape security forces who were taking him to reveal where he had hidden the tools used to kill the deceased. 

Sibomana Emmanuel, 57 years old, was killed in Abakina Village, Ruhumbi Cell, Gishari Sector, Rwamagana District, on the night of December 13, 2023.

The deceased was returning home when this criminal act was committed. Kabera Samuel was detained at Gishari Police Station, where investigations were ongoing, but he died while trying to escape with security forces.

The police were taking him to show where the tools used to kill Sibomana Emmanuel were hidden.

 President Paul Kagame addressed the issue of continued violence against Genocide survivors in his message on December 12, 2024, when he received the oath of office of the President and Vice President of the Supreme Court.

President Kagame called for all efforts to stop these acts and stressed that justice and the law must work to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

 In his message, President Kagame said: “Killing people is against the principles of justice, or the existence of a policy that leads to it, seeking to harm survivors by finding them in their homes and killing them.

The law must work; if it does not work, others will do so.” Issues of those who continue to abuse survivors of the Genocide against the Tutsi continue to simmer in various parts of the country, where in the past four months, more than six people have been killed.

 In these operations, on December 13, 2023, Pauline Nduwamungu, who was also a Genocide survivor, was killed in Ngoma District, during a brutal killing, where the killer cut a hole in her head and then cut off her body, putting it in a motorcycle, and her head was found in the bathroom.
