He then requested for an adjournment up to Thursday morning, which the court granted. Earlier in the morning session, the twenty-second prosecution witness, code-named GTA, was cross-examined briefly by one defence counsel before the adjournment. On Tuesday, GTA told the trial chamber that he had witnessed a Tutsi man being killed at a roadblock in Gitarama Prefecture on orders of former minister of Foreign Affairs, Jerome Bicamumpaka, in 1994. Bicamumpaka is co-accused with former minister for Health Casimir Bizimungu, former minister for Commerce Justin Mugenzi and former minister of Public Service Prosper Mugiraneza. They each face six counts of genocide and crimes against humanity.
