Felicien Kabuga, a suspect in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, has died in custody, a UN court said on Saturday. He ⁠was ⁠93 years old.

The court, the UN International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), said it had ordered an inquiry into the circumstances of his ​death.

Who was Felicien Kabuga?

Kabuga was once one of the world's most-wanted fugitives.

He was accused of encouraging and bankrolling the massacres between April and June 1994, in which Hutu extremists killed ​more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 100 ​days.
