Ex-soldier charged with tourist killings
A former Rwandan soldier has been charged with murdering eight foreign tourists and a game warden in Uganda five years ago.
Jean Paul Bizimana was allegedly part of a group of Rwandan rebels who abducted 14 tourists and their guide as they tracked rare mountain gorillas in Bwindi National Park, BBC News reported. The victims were hacked to death with machetes.
Six of the dead were from the UK and the US, and the other two foreigners were from New Zealand. The attack was believed to have taken place because of America’s support for Rwanda’s government.
Three other Rwandan men have already been charged in connection with the deaths. They were said to be members of ALIR, the Liberation Army of Rwanda, whose members allegedly participated in the slaughter of thousands of people in the Tutsi genocide of 1994.
These three suspects were taken out of Uganda earlier this year for trial in the US.
