A notorious genocidaire Emmanuel Nkunduwimye a.k.a Bomboko will spend the next 25 years of his life in a Beligium prison after court found him guilty of genocide against Tutsi.
Bomboko, 65, has lost the long court battle on charges including; rape during genocide, crimes against humanity and genocide crimes.
The 1994 genocide against Tutsi claimed more than a million lives in a span of just one hundred days.
Bomboko on June 5 this year lost his freedom in Belgium where he has been sheltering from justice for 25 years.
The 65 year-old former garage owner in Kigali, was a very close friend of Interahamwe deputy leader Georges Rutaganda (found guilty of genocide at the ICTR but has since died).
During the genocide, Bomboko set up two road blocks outside his premises where he had power of life and death over those who were stopped.
Court rejected his defence that he was a ‘friend’ to some Tutsis and that he could never kill. He degraded and sexually abused Tutsi women and girls.
Meanwhile, on April 8, Bomboko finally arrived in court to face trial. The investigation against him started started way back in 2007 – 17 years ago.
He had been arrested and charged in 2011, but it has taken fully 13 more years to begin the trial against him.
