Jwani Mwaikusa, human rights lawyer, ICTR Defense Counsel, and Law Professor at the University of Dar Es Salaam (USDM), Tanzania, was buried on Saturday, in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The gunmen who killed him outside his home there on Tuesday stole his briefcase and legal documents. The San Francisco Bay View, National Black Newspaper published Charles Kambanda’s memories of Professor Mwaikuza, and Tanzania’s “The Citizen” reported on the funeral and the ongoing investigation, quoting retired UDSM law lecturer, Prof Issa Shivji, who said:
“The circumstances of his death are very difficult to explain. It does not appear to have been an ordinary robbery. I think it was calculated and definitely had a motive. This is a brutal killing we would want our investigators to work on and give us an answer.”
