Soupçon de vol de bétail : deux jeunes bergers à la barre après une violente rixe

Shepherds O. Sow and A. Tall, aged 22 and 20 respectively, appeared this Friday before the Thiès court of flagrant offenses for mutual voluntary assault and battery and illegal possession of a weapon.

The two young men clashed violently in Tassette, using machetes and injuring each other during the fight. Afterwards, they were taken to the hospital for treatment.

After receiving medical treatment, each of the two shepherds obtained a medical certificate before filing a complaint against their opponent for intentional assault and battery.

After being apprehended by law enforcement, they were subsequently placed in pre-trial detention before their appearance before the Thiès court for flagrant offenses.

In court, the defendants admitted to the charges against them.

O. Sow explained that he suspected A. Tall of wanting to steal his cattle. According to him, it was after he confronted Tall that the situation escalated into a violent altercation.

A. Tall confirmed this version of events in court.

The public prosecutor's office requested the application of the law.

The case has been adjourned for deliberation.
