Six suspects have been handed over to the High Court after being accused of shooting and killing an Indian businessman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eliod Gumizamu, a member of the Nyakabande Refugee Transit Centre, is accused of shooting and injuring Patel Kuntaj, a 24-year-old Indian resident who maintained a hardware store in the Kisoro municipality, on October 27, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to heavy bleeding, Kuntaj later passed away at St. Francis Hospital in Mutolere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the hardware store, Gumizamu allegedly emerged with a group of unidentified guys, drew a revolver, and shot Kuntaj in the chest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gumizamu is said to have put the gun in a bag after the incident and tried to escape on a motorcycle, but neighbours nearby caught up with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gumizamu allegedly said during questioning that he had been paid Shs20 million by a businessman to execute the deed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police arrested Patel Hatel, a businessman and proprietor of Imperial Supermarket in Kisoro town, Godfrey Ntibakunze alias Kafeero, a Boda Boda rider, Bernard Nteziyaremye, a private security guard from Harvest Mountain security company and a resident of Shozi village in Nyakabande Sub County, Gardiso Nyabangabo commonly known as Gardson, a resident of Gako village, Muramba Sub County, Charles Nteziryayo, a driver and Elioda Gumisiriza in connection to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were placed on remand after being accused of murder and murder plot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspects were, however, sent to the High Court on Wednesday night since the charges they are facing are serious and are outside the purview of the Chief Magistrate’s Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
