Rwanda official on trial in Belgium over 1994 genocide Hearings start in Belgium in the case of a former senior Rwandan official accused of taking part in the 1994 genocide in his country. For the first time in a Belgian case, 71-year-old Fabien Neretse is explicitly charged with "genocide" over 13 alleged murders between April and July 1994. For Martine Beckers, whose sister Claire was killed on April 9, 1994 along with her Tutsi husband and their 18-year-old daughter, the trial is a way to "honour those who died". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
