AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The remains of a fugitive major suspect in Rwanda's 1994 genocide have been identified in a grave in Congo, a United Nations war crimes prosecutor said on Friday.

Serge Brammertz said Augustin Bizimana, who was indicted on 13 charges, including genocide, murder and rape, is believed to have died in Pointe Noire, in the Republic of the Congo, in 2000. His remains were identified by DNA testing.
