KIGALI (Reuters) - Relatives of Rwanda's late king, gathered in Kigali for his funeral on Sunday, have rejected a move by his chief courtier to hand his crown to a father-of-two living in a terraced house in England.

Clan elder courtier Boniface Benzinge posted a message on Facebook this week saying the title would pass to the monarch's nephew, Emmanuel Bushayija, described as a naturalised Briton from Sale in Manchester in media reports.
