Dunno why one of them thought it was a good idea to hide out in Walton-on-the-Naze.

Four men accused of taking part in the Rwanda genocide in 1994 have been remanded in custody by UK magistrates.

Vincent Bajinya was arrested in north London, Charles Munyaneza in Bedford, Celestin Ugirashebuja in Essex and Emmanuel Nteziryayo in Manchester. The four appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates Court after an extradition request from Rwanda. They all deny charges of conspiring to kill the Tutsi ethnic group and aiding and abetting the mass killings.

The court heard that Mr Munyaneza, 48, Mr Ugirashebuja, 53 and Mr Nteziryayo, 44, were local mayors with sweeping powers in their areas. Miss Lindfield told the court Mr Munyaneza urged Tutsis to flee to safety in public buildings, where Hutu militias were lying in wait to kill them.

"It is estimated that there were tens of thousands of Tutsis killed in his district and as bourgmestre he was very much responsible for the planning of the killings," she added.
