He is charged with eight counts including genocide, complicity in genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, including rape and murder. Kamuhanda has denied all charges. His trial began onSeptember 3rd, 2001. It has since adjourned several times to give way to other trials taking place in the same chamber.

Six of the last seven defence witnesses, including Kamuhanda, have all testified that he was not in Gikomero during the period stated by the prosecution. The seventh witness, named 'AG' to protect his/her identity, testified in closed session throughout. The defence is scheduled to bring 23 more witnesses. The trial is before ICTR's Trial Chamber Two composed of Judges William Hussein Sekule of Tanzania (presiding), Arlette Ramaroson of Madagascar and Winston Churchill Mantanzima Maqutu of Lesotho.
