They are part of a group of 11 that were condemned by the High Court in Musanze in 2015 having found them guilty of taking part in several attacks that happened in the district in 2014 and 2013.
One of such was a grenade attack that took place at the home of Musanze District mayor Winfrida Mpembyemungu claiming the life of a one-and-a-half-year old girl and injuring two others in 2014.
In a ruling that was held publicly at the Ubworoherane Stadium in 2015, the High Court in Musanze sent six of the perpetrators to spend the rest of their lives in prison after finding them guilty of working with DR Congo-based terrorist group FDLR and carrying out terror attacks in the district.
Standing before court, other convicts tried to explain that their role in the attacks was not intentional since they were not aware that they were participating in such.
Among such is Eliavane Tuyishimire who told court that he used to go to a place where FDLR meetings were held but he was always there for other reasons - not the meetings.
