These individuals resided in Kamuvunyi Village, in Gacaca Cell, Rubengera Sector of Karongi District.

The heart-wrenching discovery occurred on Thursday, September 28th, when the siblings of the deceased young men noticed their absence and decided to break down the door, only to find them lifeless.

Authorities were swiftly alerted, with the executive secretary of Rubengera Sector, Médard Nkusi, confirming that both the Police and Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) arrived promptly at the scene to commence a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of death.

"While there is suspicion that a brazier may have been involved, we cannot definitively confirm this at present. RIB officers are actively conducting their investigation, and we eagerly await their findings," stated Nkusi.

The two young men have been identified as Karim Niyomugabo, aged 17, and James Ishimwe, aged 20. Their bodies are to undergo postmortem examinations at Kibuye Hospital before being laid to rest.
