The Directorate of Criminal Investigations Department(CID) has kicked off investigation into an alleged case of aggravated defilement and procurement of abortion against a 17-year-old female S.3 student, in one of the schools in Kisoro district.

This act was allegedly committed by Ramathan Ndikuyezi, a prominent  real estate and fuel dealer in Kisoro.

According to police, the facts gathered during the Covid-19 lockdown indicate that the victim approached the suspect for a job at his petrol station who instead promised her a job in his estate business. It is alleged that during one of the inspections of his estate business, they started an affair until April 2022, when the victim realised she was pregnant and tried to abort secretly, with the help of a medical person in Kisoro.
