Investigations into the slaughter at Nyarubuye continue. It has been
determined that 36 people took part in the massacre. They came to the church
in cars and the killings occurred between April 7 and April 19, 1994.
Of the 36 alleged killers, 28 are in custody, 3 are dead and the ringleader, Celestine
Gachumbitsi,the former mayor of Nyarubuye, is
in a military camp in Tanzania. Officials are trying to extradite him.
In Rwanda, April 5 has been declared a national day of commemoration of the 1994
genocide.
After FRONTLINE's April 1997 broadcast
of "Valentina's Nightmare" Dr. Jeff Colyer called
to say that he was the American doctor who operated on
Valentina in Rwanda in 1994 and that he had been trying
to find her for two years: "When I wake up with my
nightmares of Rwanda, Valentina's is one of three faces I see.
There was something very special about her."
