Vélingara : le pêcheur asperge son ami d'essence et le brûle vif
In Wassadou, in the Vélingara department, a long-standing friendship between two fishermen, SG and SB, nearly turned tragic. It all began in Mbour, reports L'Observateur in its Wednesday edition, as the Tabaski festival approached, when SB came to visit SG. The two friends went to the central market to exchange SB's mobile phone. The device turned out to be defective, so a second transaction was completed for 30,000 CFA francs, an operation for which SG acted as guarantor, promising reimbursement after the holidays.
Before leaving the Petite Côte, the same source continues, SB also borrowed 3,000 CFA francs from his friend to buy a ticket to Dakar, the meeting point to return together to celebrate Tabaski with his family in their native village. However, throughout the journey and even after the celebrations were over, SG repeatedly complained, consistently encountering evasive answers and broken promises from his debtor.
A premeditated attack at the gas station
The point of no return was reached on May 30th, around 4 PM, at the Jakarta motorcycle gas station in the town. SG went there to demand his money one last time, triggering a heated argument. Although witnesses initially managed to separate them and confiscate a bottle of gasoline SG was carrying, his anger did not subside.
SG obtained a second bottle of fuel. Taking advantage of a moment of inattention, he doused his longtime friend before setting him on fire.
The perpetrator's life was in danger and he was brought before a judge.
The victim was rescued at the last minute thanks to the intervention of bystanders, one of whom was seriously injured by the flames during the rescue. SB was initially taken to a local medical facility before being urgently transferred to the Kolda Regional Hospital, where he is currently receiving intensive care.
SG was quickly apprehended by the Pakour gendarmerie. Following their investigation, the newspaper of the Groupe Futurs Médias concludes, the fisherman was brought before the prosecutor's office for attempted murder.
