Heavy gunshots have been heard in Kanyosha neighborhood of Muha Commune in the capital Bujumbura. \u201cIt was around 10 p.m. when we heard gunshots in Kanyosha area\u201d, said one resident of the neighborhood. Moise Nkurunziza, Deputy Spokesperson for the Burundian Police says the shootings came from the police station. \u201cPolicemen were patrolling when they came across a group of thieves with machetes. They shot in the air to disperse them and there wasn\u2019t any damage\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Beside those shootings, there have also been killings. Charles Ndizeye, a trader in Matana Commune of Bururi southern province was killed on 8 January around 9 p.m. \u201cHe was fired six bullets and died on the spot. Investigations are ongoing to track down the criminal\u201d, said Nkurunziza.<\/p>\n

In the early morning of the 7th January, an unknown dead body was discovered in Gihosha neighborhood of Ntahangwa Commune in the capital Bujumbura. Moise Nkurunziza said it was found in an uninhabited house. \u201cThe young man in his twenties had no mark on his body. We have no information about how he was killed. Investigations are underway to find out why he was killed and who killed him\u201d, said Nkurunziza.<\/p>\n

The deputy spokesman for the police said another decomposing body of a man in his forties was also found in Musaga area of Muha commune in the capital Bujumbura on 7 January.<\/p>\n

Nkurunziza also said the palms of his hands were cut and his eyes completely damaged. \u201cHis murderers might have brutally tortured him before killing him\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
