Killer who kept bodies in kitchen enters guilty plea

A man from Rwanda admitted to committing several crimes, which included killing 12 women and two men. This case was very shocking and gained a lot of attention in the country.

Denis Kazungu, who is 34 years old, is accused of burying the people he killed in his kitchen.

The police found out about the crime at the beginning of this month. This happened after he was forced to leave his rented place in Kicukiro, a neighborhood near the capital city, Kigali.

In a crowded courtroom, a woman shouted for her child who she claimed was hurt, after hearing the guilty plea.

This meeting was held to decide if Mr Kazungu should stay in jail. The judge will make a decision on September 26th.

Mr Kazungu, who did not have a lawyer, appeared calm and composed at the hearing. When he was asked if he was guilty, he confidently replied “yes”.

He tried to give reasons for his crimes by saying that his victims intentionally gave him AIDS, but he did not show any evidence for this.

We don’t know for sure about Mr. Kazungu’s mental health, but he seemed fine when he asked the court to have a private session. However, the court said no to his request.

“He admitted to committing serious crimes and does not want the media to report it. ”

Mr Kazungu was taken into custody because his landlord told the police that he hadn’t paid his rent for seven months.

A police officer told a newspaper in Rwanda called The New Times that he resisted when they removed him from a place.

“The official said that he showed remorse and cried a lot, which made us start to wonder. ”

We stopped him and I personally brought him to the police. He confessed to killing some people at the police station. This made the Rwanda Investigation Bureau investigate his home.

A spokesperson for Rib said that he tricked his victims, who were mostly sex workers, into coming to his house and then he would steal from them. Afterwards, he killed them by choking them and then put their bodies in a hole that he dug in the kitchen of the house he was renting.

The investigators have not yet said who all the people that Mr. Kazungu is suspected of harming are.
