The Rwandan police have arrested a suspected murderer

  Police in Rwanda have arrested a 34-year-old murder suspect who allegedly killed and buried more than 10 bodies in his kitchen. The police found out about the murder after evicting the man from his rented house in Kicukiro district, a suburb of Rwanda's capital city, Kigali. His landlord had asked them to do so as he had failed to pay rent for the past seven months. A police officer told Rwanda's private newspaper The New Times that when they went to remove him, he apologized and cried excessively which raised our suspicions, we detained him and I personally took him to the police, it is a police station where he confessed to killing some people which led to RIB [Rwanda Investigation Bureau] to investigate his residence.” the officer said.

Police said the man admitted to luring his victims out of a bar and then robbing them, killing them and burying them in a hole he dug in his kitchen. He also revealed that he dissolved some of the victims with acid. The victims were both men and women, said Thierry Murangira, spokesperson for Rwanda's Bureau of Investigation. He told the AFP news agency that women who sell their bodies were mainly targeted. The authorities said that they arrested the man in July for allegedly robbing, raping and threatening some women, but they released him because there was not enough evidence. An unnamed police source told AFP they had recovered 14 bodies, but Mr Murangira said police were still investigating the number of victims.
