The disappearance of Beinomugisha initially prompted inquiries from friends and relatives.

Afterward, she is said to have wrapped his body in bedsheets, a blanket, and a tarpaulin before burying him in a shallow grave dug under their bedroom floor. The burial site was then covered with more tarpaulin.
Before allegedly burying her husband, Nshemereirwe reportedly sent her 13-year-old son, Silver Beinomugisha, away for the day, instructing him to stay at the family’s roadside shop after school. Silver later told police he was told not to come straight home.
