Aloys Tubarimo is a Rwandan serial killer who murdered seven taxi drivers in the Bugesera district during 2007 to steal their bikes. He was caught in November of the same year, and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment in solitary confinement.

Early life Tubarimo, an orphan, was born in the Bugesera district of Rwanda. As a minor, Tubarimo was a perpetrator of the Rwandan Genocide. He was sent to prison for his participation in the genocide, but released in 2003. After his release from prison, he began stealing goats and crops from local farmers, but was arrested several times and sent back to prison.

Murders Between August and November 2007, Tubarimo murdered seven bicycle-taxi drivers to steal and sell their bikes. To lure his victims, he paid taxi drivers to drive him to his home. When they arrived at his house, he would offer them a drugged beverage.

Tubarimo would sell the victims' bicycles through his three friends. The first victim's bike sold for Frw12,000, and the subsequent bikes sold for Frw16,000 to Frw18,000. The three friends who helped Tubarimo sell the victims' bikes were also charged with selling stolen property, but claimed that they were unaware that Tubarimo stole the bikes. Their fates are unknown.
