The man was detained on Wednesday 15th February 2023 in Rwabarema Village, Cyarubare Cell of Kabare Sector.

IGIHE has learnt that the five boys are respectively aged 13,15 (2),17 and 19. The victims testify that the suspect sodomized them at different times with threats that disclosing it would put their lives in danger.

The victims suffered from complications that led to the identification of the suspect after six months.

The executive secretary of Kabare Sector, Longin Gatanazi has confirmed to IGIHE that the man was arrested over defiling boys.

“He is a 34-year old man who has been working as a mason coming from Northern Province. We realized that the man has been defiling the boys for six months luring them with Sambusa, sugar canes, money and other seductions.

One of the victims started suffering from anus, failed to sit and caught diarrhea prompting his parent to report the issue to local leaders,” he said.

Gatanazi revealed that the parent reported the case during a meeting whereby other residents claimed that there is a man who has been defiling their children and demanded justice.

As he said, the detained suspect denies the accusations.
