Fulgence Kayishema allegedly bought and distributed petrol to burn down a church full of refugees during the Rwandan genocide, and then used a bulldozer to collapse the church. How do you think he ended up in Cape Town?
Kayishema was nabbed on Wednesday by a joint operation between South African and Rwandan authorities.One of the most wanted fugitives in the world, Fulgence Kayishema, was arrested in Cape Town after being on the run for over two decades for crimes relating to the Rwandan genocide of 1994. He has been on the run since 2001.
The Tanzania-based Rwanda tribunal wound up its cases in 2008 when the IRMCT was established to complete its remaining work.In recent years, the IRMCT prosecutor has complained about the lack of cooperation from South African authorities, and there have been a series of near misses capturing Kayishema.The events in Nyanga, Rwanda, were one of the most brutal of the genocide in which an estimated 800 000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed over 90 days.
The indictment alleges that he bought and distributed petrol to burn down the church while refugees were inside.
