She was going to school, in university, and it was her second year. The university wasn't on vacation yet, 'cause we were on kind of a spring break, Easter break. The genocide started on April 6 and she was still at school, and the genocide started in the Butare area two weeks -- a week -- two weeks after the President died. And in that particular university, they had like a special -- like Interahamwe, special students sensibilized to kill, 'cause they knew coming the genocide. They have planned the genocide. Certain students knew about the genocide. So they have like a list of students that were supposed to die, and she was a part of them, she was one of them.

Yeah, they killed her, and we never heard of her. Last year when I went home, one of her friends that survived told me that she saw her die. I mean, she saw her dead. So, we know she is dead.
