A medical exam conducted by Kisoro Police on a 25-year old Rwandan woman who narrowly survived death from angry mob accusing her of infecting over 30 minors with HIV/Aids has been found negative after several HIV tests.

The suspect identified as Nyirantezimana Dinna, a resident of Russia, an up and coming suburb in Kisoro Municipality was arrested by Police over the weekend after residents threatened to kill her.

Police says she is still being detained to aid in investigations however the issue of her infecting 30 minors is null and void.

Back ground

Nyirantezimana, a famous commercial sex worker ran out of luck as angry residents armed with sticks and stones ascended on her over the weekend with the intention of lynching her for allegedly infecting 30 minors with the deadly virus.

One mother from Kisoro hill who preferred anonymity told journalists that her 15-year-old son developed HIV/AIDs signs and symptoms and when she took him to hospital for blood testing, the results turned positive.

The boy told her mother that he has been sleeping with the suspect Nyirantezimana for a long time.

Kisoro hill LCI chairperson Sam Munezero confirmed the incident and said that the suspect has been boasting that she will continue to infect others with HIV/AIDs because she got the virus from Uganda.

Angry residents tasked authorities in Kisoro to deport all Rwandan commercial sexual workers operating in the district saying they are tarnishing the image of Kisoro.

The incident comes on the heels of a roadside couple who were filmed having sex. The duo have since been sentenced to two and a half years each for indecent practice.

It remains to be seen who is fooling who. Voice of Muhabura will keep following the story closely.
