MIHIGO DISMISSES LAWYERS OVER GUILTY PLEA “I would like to know if I am allowed to terminate the services of my lawyers,” Mihigo asked. Asked the reasons for his request, he said: “I pleaded guilty from the beginning, but my lawyers have decided to argue otherwise.” He appeared in court with a written submission which he handed to the judge and asked that the submissions made by his lawyers be considered as secondary. Bigarama, who had showed up in court yesterday, said he was surprised– before he could walk out of the court room. Mihigo who, early this month, pleaded guilty to all five charges levelled against him, is jointly on trial with Cassien Ntamuhanga, a former journalist with Amazing Grace Radio, Jean-Paul Dukuzumuremyi, a demobilised soldier, and Agnès Niyibizi. Mihigo’s co-accused pleaded not guilty newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2014-11-29/183534/
