Doctor accused of Rwanda genocide offences to face UK trial in 2027

Saturday, 10 October 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

Dr Vincent Brown, 65, formerly known as Vincent Bajinya, will stand trial at the Old Bailey in London from October 2027 on charges linked to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, a judge ruled on Friday. He is the first person in the UK charged over the killings, in which an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus died over 100 days; he is accused of one count of conduct ancillary to genocide and six of conduct ancillary to murder as a crime against humanity, and has indicated he will plead not guilty. The case follows a seven-year British investigation and matters as a rare attempt to prosecute alleged genocide suspects living abroad.
