The death of Assinapol Rwigara continues to draw controversy, more than one month after the wealthy businessman died in what police said was a road accident only for his family to challenge the version later.

Last week, the family of the tycoon wrote to President Paul Kagame requesting him to intervene and call for fresh investigation into the manner in which he died. They cited foul play.
