Ruyigi: Strange deaths at the central prison
November 10, 2023
An unknown illness takes lives at Ruyigi central prison. Four prisoners died in less than a month. The detainees ask to be rescued.
Inmates at Ruyigi central prison say they do not know what caused the deaths of their fellow inmates. Some were found dead in the morning while others died in health facilities.
In the current week, two detainees died according to our sources who affirm that a total of 4 detainees died in a period of only 3 weeks. Two of them died in the prison and the other two in hospital, specify the same sources.
The symptoms of the disease are sudden, says one of our sources, who explains that the patient is no longer able to speak before suffering external hemorrhages. Blood flows from the mouth and nose before dying according to this witness.
This Thursday, an inmate known as Musebeyi was in critical condition in Ruyigi prison according to our sources who say they do not know if he was still alive this Friday. When contacted, the director of Ruyigi central prison Eric Emerusabe did not want to comment on these deaths reported within this penitentiary establishment.
This Ruyigi prison, where deaths linked to an unknown disease have been reported, currently has more than 800 inmates even though it has the capacity to accommodate no more than 300 people.
