One of the last remaining fugitives sought by a U.N. tribunal over his alleged key role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide was confirmed dead and the case against him closed, U.N. war crimes prosecutor Serge Brammertz said in a statement on Wednesday.
The announcement of the death of Pheneas Munyarugarama comes just days after the prosecutor confirmed the death of another one of the most wanted fugitives over the Rwandan genocide.
There are now only four outstanding fugitives under the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) jurisdiction. The IRMCT is still prosecuting the remaining cases in the Rwandan genocide, such as the trial of Felicien Kabuga.
