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.
