Judges in The Hague on Monday sentenced a 40-year-old Rwandan man to 20 years in jail for killing two Tutsi mothers and at least four children by attacking them with clubs and machetes during Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.

But Joseph Mpambara, a Hutu, was acquitted of involvement in the massacre of hundreds of Tutsis hiding in a church and of raping four and killing one woman in a separate incident
Mpambara had requested asylum in the Netherlands in 1998 but his application was denied because immigration officials suspected he had been involved in the massacres. He was arrested in 2006.
Under Dutch law he could be tried in an ordinary court because he was in the Netherlands when arrested.
News agency AP reports that the judges told Mpambara ‘a sentence of 20 years does not do justice to the seriousness of your crimes.’ But they refrained from imposing a life sentence, as demanded by the public prosecution department.
