The Rwanda Football Federation is taking steps to put an end to what some believe is witchcraft working its way into soccer matches. New rules have been put in place to punish clubs, managers and/or players adjudged to engage in the practice.

Coaches and players and can face steep fines and bans if found guilty of using witchcraft, per the Rwanda New Times. If a team is found guilty, they face a three-point deduction and a fine of 500,000 Rwandan Francs, or about $600.

Court heard Folorunso Owusu came to the party armed with a handgun knowing members of a rival gang would be there. When he arrived at the party in Toronto's east end, Owusu came across a man with the street name of "Gifted," who was checking attendees to see if they were welcome. The man flashed a handgun and told Owusu to leave, court heard, before an older man told Gifted to put the gun away.

Owusu, the judge said, then took out his gun and fired at Gifted, who was struck twice. The man, as he fell to the ground, fired at least 11 shots, one of which struck Owusu. Court heard that another man then took out a submachine gun and opened fire. It was bullets from Gifted's gun and the man with the submachine gun that killed Charles and Yasay.

Nordheimer said Owusu is responsible for their murders, even though his bullets didn't kill the two, because he was involved in a dangerous act that led to their deaths.

Owasu has not accepted responsibility for his actions. The judge also noted that those three guns were never found.
