Fillette décapitée à Kahone : l'arme du crime achetée à 1500 FCFA et la promesse du "Djinn"
L. Sall, 30, is now the subject of a judicial investigation for kidnapping, murder, and acts of barbarity in the case of 5-year-old D. Sow, who was beheaded in Kahone. According to Libération, which broke the story, the investigation conducted by the Kaolack territorial brigade revealed a chilling premeditation. As reported by the newspaper, the accused admitted to buying the murder weapon, a knife, the day before the crime at the Kaolack market for 1,500 CFA francs. He then abducted the girl from his own uncle's home and slit her throat in an isolated building.
The ritual crime theory is being given priority.
Several elements are leading investigators toward this theory, the newspaper reports. The accused claims that a djinn promised him wealth and marriage in a dream if he sacrificed the little girl. He also admitted to recently visiting a marabout (a Muslim religious leader) to seek prayers to find a wife. Furthermore, the day before the tragedy, he was seen by the victim's mother at the crime scene "talking at length on the phone." Sall claims to have discussed agriculture "with a relative living in Vélin-gara," but this has not convinced investigators.
A profile of a violent repeat offender
The investigation also shed light on the suspect's dark past. Before taking refuge in Kahone, he lived in Dakar (Bène Baraque) where he had attempted to rape his neighbor, D. Sall. After failing, he stabbed her while she was performing her ablutions for dawn prayer, before fleeing to escape mob justice, the same source added.
