The trial of Rwandan genocide suspect Ladislas Ntaganzwa will begin in March 2017 after the High Court in Kigali agreed to defer the case at the request of the accused.
Mr Ntaganzwa, a former mayor of Nyakizu – now Southern Province, was arraigned before the court's special chamber responsible for trying international and cross-border crimes on Tuesday, when he pleaded for more time to prepare for the case.
