Keur Mbaye Fall : Un ivrogne arrêté pour tentative de meurtre

The Zac Mbao district police station arrested an individual on August 5, 2025, for attempted murder, in addition to a 15-day temporary incapacity for work (ITT) for the victim and possession of cellulose products. The arrest took place following a security mission.

Police officers came across a crowd on 10th Street in Keur Mbaye Fall. Upon investigation, it turned out that two youths had just gotten into a fight, and one of them had stabbed his partner in the chest with a knife. The victim was rushed to the Sicap Mbao health center and then transferred to Pikine Hospital (Thiaroye Camp).

The attacker, who had fled, was arrested a few minutes later and taken to the police station.

When questioned, he admitted to the crime while under the influence of cellulose products (a bottle of thinner was found on his person). He explained that he stabbed the victim while trying to free himself from her grip. She wanted to prevent him from fighting with another man.

The individual was taken into custody for attempted murder and possession of a cellulose product. The investigation is ongoing.
