Tentative de vol avec violences et voie de faits : G. Mancor condamné à 15 ans de réclusion criminelle
The criminal chamber of the Thiès High Court delivered its verdict on Tuesday in the case of attempted robbery with a weapon and violence, involving G. Mancor. After deliberation, the court reclassified the charges as attempted robbery with violence and assault. It found the defendant guilty on these counts and sentenced him to 15 years' imprisonment.
The case was heard on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, before the criminal chamber of the Thiès High Court. Originally from Ziguinchor, G. Mancor was prosecuted for attempted robbery with a weapon and violence resulting in a 28-day period of temporary incapacity for work (ITT).
These events date back to January 7, 2024, in Thiès. On that day, the defendant had requested a ride from the victim, A. Bâ, a motorcycle taxi driver, to Keur Thième Souaré. During the journey, G. Mancor deliberately dropped a 1,000 FCFA note before asking the driver to pick it up to save time.
Taking advantage of this moment of inattention, he sprayed chili powder in the Jakartaman's eyes before attempting to grab his motorcycle keys and flee. But A. Bâ resisted, triggering a violent altercation between the two men.
During the fight, G. Mancor pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the hand. A. Bâ tried to flee, but was pursued by his attacker, who stabbed him twice in the back, causing him to fall.
The unexpected arrival of an L200-type vehicle finally forced the assailant to flee. Without this intervention, the outcome could have been far more tragic. The passersby managed to apprehend the suspect before handing him over to the officers at the Parcelles Assainies police station in Thiès. G. Mancor was subsequently remanded in custody.
In court, the defendant admitted the facts. He confessed to wanting to steal A. Bâ's motorcycle and to stabbing him, while indicating that he did not intend to kill him but to dissuade him from abandoning the motorcycle.
The public prosecutor determined that the attempted robbery and violence were clearly established. He emphasized that the defendant had premeditated his actions, equipping himself with a knife with the intention of stealing the victim's motorcycle.
In view of the seriousness of the facts and the circumstances of their commission, he had asked the chamber to convict the defendant for his actions.
