The trial in the substance of suspected serial killer, Denis Kazungu at the Intermediate Court of Nyarugenge has once again been postponed.

Originally scheduled for January 12, this marks the third delay, with the latest rescheduling set for February 9.

The latest delay is triggered by a general meeting held at Nyarungenge Intermediate Court.

According to a statement signed by the President of Nyarugenge Intermediate Court, Mr. Adolphe Udahemuka, and posted in the usual premises of the court, all scheduled activities have been suspended.

The document also indicates that those in need of judicial services can request them through the electronic IECMS system used by the courts.

Kazungu, 34, from Kicukiro District in Kigali, was arrested by the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) in September 2023, facing 10 charges including murder, rape, and desecration of human remains.

The defense cited insufficient preparation time during the previous hearing on January 12, with the court supporting the postponement to ensure the defendant’s right to legal representation and adequate defense preparation time.

The trial involves individuals seeking compensation for their losses, and some were present at the court but were informed of the delay.

Kazungu faces 10 charges including murder, rape, and desecration of human remains.
