We were attacked in the Brothers' house by Interahamwe led by Muhizina [the assistant burgomaster of the former commune of Butamwa, accused] We were discouraged and went out. But, out there, the Interahamwe were killing people with local weapons. People who weren’t killed that day fled into the marshes. [... ] Muhizina was with his Interahamwe who were expressing their joy. [...] We went into the marshes. We set off at 300 for the marshes, we arrived there at 100 and we were 20 after the crossing. In our group, we stayed at 3. We crossed the river. [... ] The families who had stayed here all died.
