KIGALI 8 May (ANA) - Police in Rwanda's capital, Kigali, have opened investigations into a grenade explosion in a barber-shop on Thursday evening that killed one person and injured 11 others. 

A 25-year-old man identified as Tunezerwe Jean Paul had tried to show the barber, Niyikiza Pacific, something he was carrying in his pocket before the explosion, the police statement said.

"Inside his pocket was a smoke-emitting grenade. On seeing the grenade Nyikiza immediately told Tunezerwe to get out of the salon and in the process the grenade detonated," the statement said. 

Two children aged eight and 12 were among those injured, the police said. 

They ruled out terrorism as a motive.(ANA)
