Jerry Robert Kajuga (1960[3]–before March 2007) was a Tutsi from Kibungo,[4] the national president and leader of the MRND-affiliated extremist militia, the Interahamwe,[5] which was largely responsible for perpetrating the Rwandan genocide in 1994. He was from a partially Tutsi family (his mother was Hutu and his father was Tutsi[6]) whose father had acquired Hutu identity papers.[7] To avoid any kind of suspicion about their family being Tutsi, Robert Kajuga kept his brother hidden at the Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali. Kajuga fled Rwanda in July 1994, taking refuge in nearby Congo for two and a half years, before being arrested by UN Security forces and standing trial in Kigali and being sentenced to life imprisonment. Kajuga later died in prison sometime before March 2007 from an unspecified disease in Kinshasa.[8][9]
