00:00 The Rwandan Investigation Bureau announced the arrest of Denis Kazungu, a 34-year-old
00:04 man suspected of killing at least 10 people in Kigali's eastern suburbs.
00:09 Investigators discovered a pit containing several bodies inside his kitchen after he
00:13 was arrested on Tuesday and officers searched his home.
00:16 The precise number of presumed victims will only be determined following further scientific
00:21 analysis.
00:22 According to police sources and local media, the victims were mostly sex workers when the
00:26 suspect lured back to his home.
00:28 A source in the Rwandan Investigation Bureau has reportedly said that the suspect may have
00:33 emulated infamous serial killers.
00:36 Victims were apparently stalked and may have been chosen because they had few social connections.
00:41 Kazungu had previously been arrested in July on charges of robbery and rape but was subsequently
00:46 released due to insufficient evidence.
00:49 But investigations continued and he was re-arrested this week, leading to the gruesome discovery.
00:54 He is said to have confessed to the murders.
00:55 However, as of now, neither the prosecutor nor the authorities have officially announced
01:00 specific charges.
