Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) has found out that a 25-year-old man identified as Eric Turatsinze is one of the victims of the suspected serial killer Denis Kazungu. Kazungu, 34, was arrested on September 5 and faces a litany of charges, including homicide. Investigators say that after luring his victims to his rented home in Busanza, Kanombe, Kicukiro District, he would go on to kill and bury them in a pit he dug in the kitchen.

Murangira did not divulge further details. Meanwhile, the exact number of Kazungu's alleged victims is yet to be established. Murangira told The New Times that some bodies had decomposed by the time Kazungu was apprehended, and therefore it requires a longer process to establish the total number of the victims. “We are waiting for the results from the Rwanda Forensic Institute to know the exact number of victims, since some bodies had already decomposed,” he said.
