**A Rwandan journalist who encouraged Hutus to slaughter Tutsis during the 1994 genocide has been jailed for life.**During her trial Valerie Bemeriki admitted to inciting violence.
In one broadcast attributed to her she told her listeners: “Do not kill those cockroaches with a bullet - cut them to pieces with a machete.”
She was one of the most prominent voices of Radio Mille Collines - a station which became notorious for its encouragement of the slaughter.
The station was launched in 1993, backed by relatives of Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana - whose death in a plane crash helped to trigger the genocide.
About 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered in 100 days in Rwanda.
A local court convicted Bemeriki of planning genocide, inciting Hutus, and complicity in several murders.
