Pastor Murinzi is a Hutu protestant pastor who lives in Mataba. He agrees to shelter Immaculée and other Tutsi women and girls, putting his life at risk to do so. At the same time, he is resentful of Leonard and sometimes says cruel and baseless things about him. Despite the tensions that at points exist between the pastor and Immaculée, Immaculée is extremely grateful to him for risking his life to save hers.
