Nduwayo Faustin is accused of attempted murder, robbery and rape. His teammate Hafashimana Claude like his illegal wife Ishimwe El Elore are accused of attempted murder and robbery while Nshimirimana Annociate is accused of seizing objects obtained with the help of an offense which is why the latter will only suffer ‘only one year in prison according to the prosecutor.

Indeed, on Wednesday last week, Hafashimana Claude took a motorcyclist from Buhiga to Bugenyuzi at 7 p.m. Arriving at Gashanga village, he asked Nkurunziza Séverin to stop to give a lift to a little girl next to the road. The latter approached the motorcycle, willingly delaying getting on to wait for Nduwayo Faustin to come out of his hiding place in order to knock out the biker using knives and leave with the motorcycle after killing him.
The alerted police did their job and found the three thieves and the motorcycle at Gikombe village in Shombo commune two days after the crime. Note that the trial took place behind closed doors following the minor criminal.
