The Supreme Court of Rwanda upheld convictions for unlawful entry and murder arising from a night operation, rejecting self-defense and provocation claims.
The court found that Mbarushimana's actions—breaking into the victims' home at midnight armed with a hoe, striking them indiscriminately, and causing permanent disability—demonstrated intent to kill. The cruelty of the offence and lack of remorse justified denial of penalty reduction. The High Court's conviction and sentence were upheld.
