RPA MIN 00031/11/HC/MUS Page |3 being a child at the time of the offence, and Article 77 of Legislative Decree nº 21/77 of 18 August 1977 establishing the Penal Code of Rwanda provides for a reduction of the sentence based on the age of the defendant at the time of the offence. The reproach of Nshimiyimana Anaclet arguing that he had not been given the same sentence as Ndayambaje Jean de Dieu is therefore baseless. IV. COURT DECISION [8] Holds that Nshimiyimana Anaclet's appeal is lawful but unfounded. [9] Holds and orders that the judgment RPMin 0008/010 / TGI / MUS passed by the Musanze High Court on 20/12/2010 remains unchanged, except in respect of the costs of the proceedings to be awarded. [10] Orders Nshimiyimana Anaclet to pay the costs of the proceedings of 20,550 Frw within one month, failing to do so, the State can forcibly remove it from his possession. The case is delivered and read publicly on 06/07/2011, by the High Court-Musanze Chamber, at its seat in Musanze, composed of Judge Bakuzakundi Athanase and the Registrar of the Court. The verdict was delayed due to the commemoration of former personnel of the judiciary who died in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi the judge attended in Kigali, which unexpectedly coincided with the day of the trial and before noon the judge was at the hearing of the pending cases.
