The Paris Assize Court deliberated on Friday the 6th of July 2018 after the floor was given to the accused. The verdict fell shortly before 7pm : Tito BARAHIRA and Octavien NGENZI are both found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity.
They are sentenced to life imprisonment, the same as the sentence they had been convicted to at their first trial in 2016.
