Diourbel : en manque de drogue, un repris de justice tente d'égorger sa mère de 78 ans pour... 1 000 FCFA
On Friday, a tragedy was narrowly averted in the Ngolomite neighborhood of Diourbel. According to L'Observateur, CAT Fall, alias "Cheikh Rasta," a 47-year-old unemployed man, allegedly attempted to slit his own mother's throat after she refused to give him 1,000 FCFA intended for the purchase of marijuana.
The suspect, a repeat offender with "multiple prison sentences" on his record, is believed to have acted while experiencing withdrawal. He reportedly first entered his 78-year-old mother's bedroom to search for money, before surprising her by lifting her mattress. Startled awake, the elderly woman, "believing there was an intruder," alerted the neighbors, which allegedly triggered her son's fury, according to the newspaper Groupe Futurs Médias.
The same source specifies that he then allegedly strangled her and threatened her with a knife to demand the money he requested. Fortunately, the victim's cries for help alerted a neighbor, whose immediate intervention caused the assailant to back down. The man in his forties fled, abandoning his weapon at the scene.
The victim, deeply shocked and injured, was taken to a hospital for treatment. Alerted, detectives from the local police station immediately launched a search for the fugitive, who remained at large until nightfall. The investigation is ongoing.
