Théogène Turatsinze[1] (born "in the northern part" of Rwanda c.1970,[2] murdered
between 11 and 15 October 2012 in Mozambique[3])
was a Rwandan businessman.
After undergraduate studies in his home country, he
moved to Mozambique, "where he worked for several years", then
completed his studies with a Masters degree inmanagement at
the Australian Catholic University in Sydney.[2] [4] He
returned to Rwanda, and became the Managing Director of the Rwanda Development Bank (BRD) in
2005.[3]He
was dismissed from that position in 2007, having "disobeyed an order from
the Finance Ministry to declare the BRD bankrupt". At the time, there were
allegations that members of the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front had been
appropriating funds from the Bank.[5] He
moved once more to Mozambique, where he served as deputy rector of the São Tomãs de
Moçambique Catholic University until his death.[6]
He went missing on 11[5] or
12 October 2012, in Maputo.[3] His
body was found on the 15th, tied up and "floating in the sea".[6] Police
in Mozambique "initially indicated Rwandan government involvement in the
killing", then retracted the accusation.[7] Turatsinze
was thought to have "had access to politically sensitive financial
information related to certain Rwandan government insiders", relating to
the funds of the Development Bank.[7] His
murder, which remains unsolved, was described as part of a "history of
mysterious deaths" of opponents or perceived opponents of the Paul Kagame government
in Rwanda.
The newspaper The Zimbabwean related
it to the deaths of Seth Sendashonga (a high-level political
opponent murdered in Kenya in 1998), Jean-Léonard Rugambage (a reporter
murdered in Kigali in 2010), and Charles Ingabire (a
reporter murdered in Uganda in 2011); it also mentioned Kayumba Nyamwasa,
a former member of Rwandan Intelligence who survived an assassination attempt
in 2010.[5] Similarly,
the UK's Channel 4 News linked Turatsinze's deaths
to those mentioned, as well as to that of politician André Kagwa Rwisereka, murdered in 2010, noting
the "allegations of Rwandan government involvement".[8]
