Rwanda genocide suspect Ladislas Ntaganzwa has been flown to Rwanda from Democratic Republic of Congo for trial.
Arrested in eastern DR Congo in December, Mr Ntaganzwa, 53, is accused in a UN indictment of genocide, crimes against humanity and violating the Geneva Conventions.
He is alleged to have helped form a Hutu militia “to exterminate” Tutsis while mayor of the town of Nyakizu. Some 800,000 people, mostly ethnic Tutsis, died in the 1994 genocide.
Militias from the majority Hutu ethnic group massacred Tutsis and moderate Hutus
The UN-backed International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) says he “substantially participated in the planning, preparation and execution of the massacre”.
