On 17 April 2021, Munyenyezi was arrested upon her arrival to Rwanda after deportation from the U.S. on charges of murder and complicity in rape related to the Rwandan Genocide. She did not comment to local press but denied the accusations while in the United States. On 5 May 2021, she was indicted before a court in Kigali, Rwanda, where she denied the charges against her saying that during the 1994 genocide, she was a pregnant teenager and that could have had nothing to do with the crimes of which she stands accused. She was ordered to remain in custody and was escorted out of the courtroom in handcuffs.
