Australia's prime minister denies media reports that two Rwandan refugees resettled in Australia are suspects in the massacre of eight tourists in Uganda 20 years ago.
In this image made from video, Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison talks to media Friday, May 17, 2019, in Cairns, Australia. Morrison on Friday denied media reports that two Rwandan refugees resettled in Australia are suspects in the massacre of eight tourists in Uganda 20 years ago.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said both men had been cleared of suspicion in the ax and machete slayings of four Britons, two Americans and two New Zealanders who were in a Ugandan wild park in 1999 to see mountain gorillas. Morrison said both men had undergone security and character assessments as well as investigations into whether they were associated with war crimes.
The father, who lives in the Australian city of Perth, called for whoever wins the election to review the decision to allow the Rwandans to settle in Australia. Senior Labor lawmaker Tony Burke told Australian Broadcasting Corp. that if his party wins the election, his government would seek immediate briefings from security agencies “to find out what on earth has happened.”
Both men fought against being returned to Rwanda, but did not have a right to remain in the United States.
