    Charges
    Ndimbati is charged with sexual violence crimes (on the basis of the second amended indictment of 8 May 2012) as follows: - Genocide under Article 6(1) (direct responsibility) (JCE I) and 6(3) (command responsibility). - Complicity in genocide under Article 6(1) (direct responsibility) (JCE I). - Rape as a crime against humanity under Article 6(1) (direct responsibility) (JCE I) and 6(3) (command responsibility). - Persecution as a crime against humanity under Article 6(1) (direct responsibility) (JCE I) and 6(3) (command responsibility). The underlying facts that relate to the sexual violence for all these charges concern the: (i) instruction and prompting by Ndimbati (and Musema) of Interahamwe, who were among the Gisovu tea factory workers, to rape and kill a Tutsi woman by the name Annociata Mujawayezu and her son. As Annonciata’s son cried, he instructed the same Interahamwe to cut off Annociata’s breast and give it to her son in order to make him stop crying. Therafter she was raped and then killed, together with her son; (ii) taking aside of Adele Nyiramayombo near a road going to the Bisesero hills and telling her to undress. When Adele Nyiramayombo resisted, he slapped her and threatened to kill her. She finally gave up and undressed herself. Ndimbati then raped her for about 15 minutes in the presence of the Interahamwe in an open place. Meanwhile Alfred Musema raped Dancile Mukangemanyi not far from Ndimbati. After raping the women, they instructed and prompted the Twa Interahamwe to take Adele Nyiramayombo, Dancile Mukangemanyi and Azarias Munyampama away and kill them. They left with the third woman, Gaudance Mukankundiye, saying that they would rape her later. Adele Nyiramayombo and Dancile Mukangemunyi were then killed by the Twa Interahamwe as instructed and prompted by Ndimbati and Musema. Azarias Munyampama survived.
