A family tragedy shakes the village of Sokhéme, in the commune of Sandiara, where a farmer was violently attacked by his own wife and daughter over a simple meal issue. As reported by L’Observateur, this case of domestic violence led the two attackers to prison, highlighting an explosive situation in this rural home.
An argument over a meal turns into a tragedy
It all began on Wednesday January 8, 2025, when after a long day of work in the fields, Moundor Ndour returned home, exhausted and hungry. To his great surprise, he discovers that no meal has been reserved for him. His wife, Astou Dione, was absent, and his daughter, Awa Ndour, returning from the Middle School (CEM) in Sandiara, had not taken the trouble to cook.
Faced with this situation, Moundor Ndour, frustrated by hunger, asks his daughter to prepare a meal. But she, citing fatigue, categorically refuses. An argument breaks out between the father and his daughter, attracting the attention of the mother, Astou Dione, who then defends her offspring.
A violent and bloody attack
What was supposed to be a simple family quarrel quickly escalates. Astou Dione, supported by her daughter, violently attacks her husband. Equipped with sticks, they hit him on the head and all over his body, leaving him seriously injured. According to witnesses cited by L’Observateur, Moundor Ndour, in a state of panic, had to run in all directions to escape the fury of his wife and daughter. It was ultimately neighbors who stopped the attack and took the victim to the Sandiara health center.
The medical certificate issued attests to serious injuries, with temporary incapacity for work (ITT) of 14 days.
A complaint to protect yourself
Feeling in danger in his own home, Moundor Ndour decides to file a complaint against his wife and daughter for intentional injury. In his testimony, he explains that this episode is not an isolated case. According to him, Astou Dione would have the habit of assaulting him, and this joint attack with their daughter is the last straw.
Astou Dione, for her part, admits the facts but justifies herself by asserting that her husband regularly “provokes” her and her children. Exasperated, she claims to have wanted to “solve the problem in her own way”. Accusations that the farmer categorically rejects.
Warrant of committal for the attackers
The two women, after admitting the facts to investigators from the Sandiara gendarmerie brigade, were referred to the Mbour public prosecutor’s office the following Monday. They were placed under arrest warrant and are now awaiting trial.
A village in shock
In Sokhéme, this affair continues to spark lively debates. Some residents denounce an intolerable act that calls into question respect for authority in the home, while others see it as a symptom of growing tensions within rural families.
As L’Observateur points out, this case highlights a reality that is often ignored: violence can manifest itself in all directions, including against men in the marital context. It remains to be seen what the justice’s conclusions will be in this affair which is shaking the entire region.
