For the case of Ngozi district, it concerns a person who was killed by a police officer on duty at a local brewery in Vyerwa.
“Around 2 a.m., two men entered the brewery. They began to target lamps using stones to break them. A police officer on duty shot at them. One of the two men shot was hit. He died on the spot. The other escaped,” say local sources who specify that the identity of the victim is not yet known.
