Do Not Disturb review – the disturbing death of a Rwandan dissident

Michela Wrong uses the murder of Patrick Karegeya to focus her case against Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame in this fascinating investigation

When Rwanda's former intelligence chief was found strangled in a plush Johannesburg hotel room, there was only ever one real suspect. Patrick Karegeya spent years dodging assassination attempts evidently set in motion by his childhood schoolmate, Rwanda's eternal ruler, Paul Kagame.

Karegeya even had tapes of former intelligence colleagues plotting his death. For all that, the ex-spy master allowed himself to be tricked into attending his own murder on the last day of 2013. Far too many of Kagame's former allies turned opponents have met untimely ends for the man who has dominated Rwanda since the genocide in 1994 not to be the prime suspect. But, as Michela Wrong's engrossing and revelatory investigation reveals, Karegeya's killing was of a different order.
