Rwandan genocide suspect in court

One of Rwanda's most wanted suspects for the country's 1994 genocide appeared in a South African courtroom Friday, clutching a Bible and another book inscribed with “Jesus First” on the cover. Fulgence Kayishema was a police officer with the rank of inspector when he allegedly orchestrated the killings of more than 2,000 people — including children — as they tried to seek refuge in a church during the first days of the genocide. He was arrested Wednesday in a small town in a winemaking region about 50 kilometres east of Cape Town having managed to evade justice for nearly 30 years. South African authorities gave his age as 61. Kayishema was indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity in 2001 by a tribunal investigating the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, where more than 800,000 people were slaughtered when members of the ethnic Hutu group turned on the minority Tutsis and other Hutus trying to protect them.
