The Kigezi Police spokesperson, ASP Elly Maate, said that the incident occurred on Tuesday at about 8:30 p.m. in Matyazo village, Rukongi parish, Nyarusiiza sub-county of Kisoro district.

However, Kabeni then decided to leave with his son, who was staying with his mother, and on their way home, Elias allegedly cut his throat and ran away before handing himself over to Kisoro Police Station moments later.
A case was opened at Kisoro Central Police Station under the file number SD 54/29/08/2023, and the scene was visited by a team of officers, who transferred the body to Kisoro Hospital Mortuary for postmortem examination.
In conclusion, ASP Maate told the press that it has been established that the suspect had an argument with the wife over the biological father of the child, as he was at one point informed by the wife that the child was not his, prompting him to end the child’s life.
