The murder of Ndamyimana was first reported on April 19, 2024, when he was fatally stabbed late at night while returning home. Initially, the perpetrators were unknown, but the police swiftly began an investigation targeting suspects.

ACP Boniface Rutikanga, spokesperson for the National Police, has told IGIHE that the investigation led to the arrest of two individuals who were part of a group known for engaging in theft across the sectors of Gisozi, Muhima, and Kacyiru using sharp objects. As he disclosed; one lived in Kinamba, and the other resided in Gasanze, planning their thefts from Kinamba.

The suspects had previously been incarcerated at various times either in detention centers for vagrants or in prison. According to police, one of the suspects was serving a suspended sentence for assault and battery.

On the morning of Friday, as they were being taken to point out the residences of their accomplices, they attempted to flee in different directions, which appeared premeditated. Police officers at the scene responded by shooting them dead.

Preliminary investigations suggest that these individuals were committed to living off criminal activities.

The police spokesperson warned those engaged in such activities that security forces would vigorously combat them, stating, “Those involved in such acts must understand that there is no place for theft, and the cruelty of taking lives will not be tolerated at all. Police are actively searching for any others involved, wherever they may be. Our advice is for them to cease these criminal activities.”

The suspected thieves were shot dead in Marembo Village, Musezero Cell of Gisozi Sector.
