In Diourbel, a 20-year-old woman named A. C. Sène was admitted to the Heinrich Lübke regional hospital following an alleged domestic assault at her home in the Sessène neighborhood, according to investigators and reports from L’Observateur.
The incident occurred on a Monday, when the victim was allegedly attacked by her 29-year-old husband, A. Mboup, also known as “Youssou Tapissier,” while she was sleeping. According to her statement given from her hospital bed, her husband attempted to prevent her from breathing before wounding her with a kitchen knife. The victim managed to free herself and escape the bedroom through an alternate exit, sustaining injuries to her forearms and superficial lesions that required medical treatment at the regional hospital in Diourbel.
Investigation Opened Into the Death of A. Mboup
Hours after the alleged assault, A. Mboup was found dead in a neighboring house near the family home where he lived with his wife, his parents, and their young child. Firefighters (sapeurs-pompiers) evacuated the body to the hospital morgue. At this stage, the exact circumstances of his death remain unestablished by authorities. Investigators are examining several hypotheses, including the possibility of suicide following the alleged assault on his wife, though other possibilities are not excluded.
The central police commissariat of Diourbel has opened an investigation to clarify the events. On instructions from the prosecutor, the body is scheduled for transfer to the Idrissa Pouye hospital in Dakar to undergo an autopsy. This medico-legal examination is expected to determine the precise causes and circumstances of the death.
