A double life exposed: Ohio engineer and dad is Rwandan war criminal, prosecutors say



Akron was in the middle of an unseasonable warm spell earlier this month when Homeland Security investigator Matthew Langille arrived at the corporate headquarters of Goodyear Tire & Rubber to meet with the company’s principal engineer.

Eric Nshimiye had worked at Goodyear in Ohio for 23 years. He joined the same year he graduated from University of Dayton with a degree in electrical engineering; just five years earlier he’d come to the US as a refugee from war-torn Rwanda.

Langille began posing a series of questions on March 11 to Nshimiye, now a suburban father of four known for mowing neighbours’ lawns and general congeniality. The federal agent asked how Nshimiye had come to the United States and what his political affiliation had been prior to the Rwandan genocide, during which the ethnic minority Tutsis were systematically hunted down and killed by Hutu extremists.

Langille asked, ultimately, if Nshimiye had been involved in raping or killing anyone during the genocide, which left 800,000 dead.

Nshimiye “first responded by shaking his head, laughing nervously, and asking for a drink of water,” Langille later wrote in court documents filed ten days later. “When I persisted by asking again, he falsely denied any involvement in raping or killing anyone during the genocide

Investigators, however, had already compiled an avalanche of evidence indicating otherwise – and federal prosecutors charge that Nshimiye is instead a war criminal who’s been living a double life for decades. They believe he actively tracked down and pointed out Tutsis, identifying them for death, in addition to brutally murdering victims himself. In one horrifying instance, they allege he murdered a 14-year-old child using a machete and spiked club directly after killing the boy’s mother

Now 52-year-old Nshimiye, also known as Eric Tabaro Nshimiyimana, has been charged in a criminal complaint with falsifying, concealing and covering up a material fact by trick, scheme or device; obstruction of justice; and perjury. He was arrested Thursday in Ohio and will appear in federal court in Boston at a later date.

“Nshimiye is accused of lying to conceal his participation in one of the greatest human tragedies of all time. The charging documents make specific allegations about the murder and rape of ethnic Tutsis committed during his time as a medical student in Rwanda. The government alleges his testimony in the defense of a convicted genocidaire was a calculated attempt to conceal the horrific crimes committed during the genocide, further distancing himself from his participation in these horrific events, and avoiding consequences of his actions,” HSI New England Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol said in a statement.

Nshimiye left Rwanda in 1994 during the genocide and traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo and then in 1995 he arrived in Kenya, where authorities say he lied to U.S. immigration officials in order to enter America as a refugee. He then was given refugee status and was placed in Ohio, where he has lived ever since, ICE said.

Court documents alleged that Nshimiye killed Tutsi men, women, and children by striking them on the head with a nail-studded club and then hacking them to death with a machete. Citing specific instances, court documents alleged that Nshimiye killed a 14-year-old boy and a man who sewed doctors' coats at the university hospital.

Witnesses in Rwanda recently identified the locations of the killings and drew pictures of Nshimiye’s weapons, court documents said. In addition to the murders, "Nshimiye both participated in and aided and abetted the rape of numerous Tutsi women during the genocide," court documents added.

Nshimiye is accused of being "among the most vicious University students who were members of the Interahamwe during the genocide," according to court documents.

Nshimiye will appear in federal court in Boston at a later date, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts said. If convicted, Nshimiye could face up to 20 years in prison and $750,000 in fines
