Miss Elsa Iradukunda and her co-accused Nasra Uwizeye will on Tuesday, May 24, appear before Kicukiro Primary Court where they are expected to be charged and allowed to seek bail.
Iradukunda was named Miss Rwanda 2017.
Uwitonze was also taken into custody. She is charged with three charges, including influencing assistants to judicial organs, giving false witness, forgery, falsification and use of forged papers.
Iradukunda was arrested on May 8 while her co-accused Uwitonze was arrested on May 10.
She was detained a few days after the arrest of Dieudonne Ishimwe, who is commonly known as Prince Kid, the CEO of Rwanda Inspiration back-Up—an organisation that used to organise the Miss Rwanda beauty pageant.
She is accused of attempting to sabotage an investigations into various alleged crimes related to sexual abuse that were slapped on Prince Kid— who is also believed to be her boyfriend.
Meanwhile, on Monday, May 16, Price kid was sent on a 30-day remand, after the judge denied him bail and the rape charge dropped while he is still being suspected of the charges of soliciting or offering sexual favours and harassment.
Uwitonze is said to be the one who illegally nototized documents believed to be from different people, in order to absolve Prince Kid of the crimes that he faces.
The file of the two women was handed to the National Public Prosecution Authority by investigators on Friday, May, 13, for examination before deciding on whether to produce the suspect before a court.
