In a cold blooded murder, a woman identified by police as  Deborah Nyirarukobwa (40), was on Tuesday night shot dead by unidentified gunmen outside her home in Rwezamenyo Sector, in Nyarugenge District.

"Nyirarukobwa was shot three bullets in the chest at 8:30pm on Tuesday night in front of her house in Kabuguri cell, Rwezamenyo Sector, Nyarugenge District,” said the Police Spokesperson John Uwamungu.
