In the quiet early hours of April 1st, 2026, a tragic incident shook residents of Sangano Village, located in Mbabe Cell, Masaka Sector of Kicukiro District.
At approximately 4:00 a.m., what began as a domestic dispute reportedly escalated into a devastating act.
A man identified as UMAZEKABIRI Faustin is suspected to have taken the life of his partner, UMUBYEYI M. Chantal, a 37-year-old woman with whom he shared a home and a child, though they were not legally married.
According to a house worker present at the residence, raised voices and signs of a serious argument were heard during the early morning hours. The situation quickly turned critical.
Following the incident, the suspect is believed to have locked the room and fled the scene, leaving behind a deeply disturbing situation that would soon be uncovered.
Local leaders and security personnel responded promptly after being alerted. Upon arrival, they were forced to break into the locked room, where they confirmed the tragic outcome.
Authorities have since launched an investigation into the case. The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) is expected to lead efforts to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
As the community comes to terms with the shocking event, questions remain, and the search for answers continues.
