KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) — A Rwandan official says the remains of 119 people believed to be victims of genocide have been discovered in the country’s south as authorities continue to find mass graves nearly three decades after the killings. The remains of more victims continue to be found because perpetrators of the genocide try their best to hide possibly incriminating information. That’s according to Naphtal Ahishakiye, executive secretary of the genocide survivors’ organization Ibuka, who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday. In October, authorities first found six bodies under a house that was being built in Huye district. He says they have since found more bodies there after investigating further.
