Date of Death
August 24, 1998
Sisters Germaine Lugolo, Adrienne Kagarabi and Germaine Nyagira of the Daughters of Resurrection were murdered on Aug. 24, 1998 in eastern Congo by rebels in a massacre that left 37 people dead. The slain were refugees who had gathered at a remote parish in Kasika near the town of Uvira, in South Kivu province. They had sought refuge at the parish after fleeing from rebel-controlled territories engaged in combat with Laurent Kabila’s government. The rebels were motivated to attack the parish on claims that the religious supplied government forces with food.
