Horreur à Guédiawaye : disparu depuis trois jours, un enfant de 5 ans retrouvé mort dans une voiture en panne
Horror in Guédiawaye: a 5-year-old child, missing for three days, was found dead in a broken-down car.
Five-year-old Amadou Sow, who had been missing for three days, was found dead in a vehicle parked near his home in Guédiawaye. The child had left his family home on Tuesday, October 21, to play with his friends, after obtaining permission from his grandmother. "I could hear them laughing and playing. Around 9 p.m., I went out to tell him to go home to bed. But when I woke up in the middle of the night, he was no longer in his room," she told L'Observateur.
Alerted, Amadou's father, who was in Gadaye, rushed to the scene. The disappearance was immediately reported to the Guédiawaye police station, triggering an intensive search involving family, neighbors, and the police.
But it wasn't until the following Friday that a foul odor attracted the attention of local carpenters. Upon opening a car—a broken-down vehicle belonging to a police officer, often used by children as a hiding place—they discovered the little boy's decomposing body. "One of the workers nearly fainted," a witness recounted.
"The lifeless body, lying on the back seat, was in an advanced stage of decomposition," reports L'Observateur.
The devastated family categorically rejects the accident theory. Several elements raise questions: the child was found partially undressed, lying down "as if asleep", and not in the typical position of a child trapped by mistake.
"My son couldn't have opened the door by himself without anyone noticing. The vehicle was parked in front of people who had been sitting there all evening. And if he had locked himself in by accident, he wouldn't have been found like this," the distraught father maintains.
Transferred to Idrissa Pouye Hospital for an autopsy, the body of little Amadou has not yet revealed all its secrets. Forensic pathologists were unable to definitively determine the cause of death, as the advanced state of decomposition made conclusions difficult.
The little boy was buried in complete secrecy, while his grief-stricken family continues to demand full transparency regarding the circumstances of his death.
This tragedy is a tragic reminder of other similar cases, including the one that occurred a little over a year ago in Thiaroye/Mer, where three children - Baye Daouda Diop, Mamadou Mar and Maimouna Niang - were found dead in a broken-down vehicle, the day after their disappearance was reported on July 22, 2024.

Le problème c’est que il faut les épaves des véhicules abandonnés dans les quartiers car la enieme fois que des enfants meurent bêtement par la faute de grandes personnes inconscientes qui laissent des épaves de véhicules dans les quartiers
Les gouverneurs doivent débarrasser tous les quartiers en enlevant toutes les épaves de véhicules
Allez à liberté 6 derrière les immeubles du rond point liberté les mécaniciens et les clandos ont fini de transformer le site en cimetière de véhicules ce qui est inacceptable et les riverains et leurs familles voient leur cadre de vie dégradés par des gens qui ne logent même pas dans la zone
L'histoire se répète
L’enfant avait quitté le domicile familial le mardi 21 octobre pour jouer avec ses camarades, après avoir obtenu la permission de sa grand-mère. « Je les entendais rire et jouer. Vers 21 heures, je suis sortie pour lui dire de rentrer se coucher. Mais quand je me suis réveillée en pleine nuit, il n'était plus dans la chambre », raconte-t-elle. comment peut on laisser un enfant de 5 ans dans la rue "jouer" jusqu'à 21 h? on néglige sa progéniture et quand un drame survient on ne veut pas assumer sa responsabilité.
Lorsqu'un enfant disparaît, il faut aussi le chercher dans les véhicules stationnés dans le quartier. C'est leur cachette préférée. Ce drame se répète.
Un enfant de 5 ans peut ouvrir la portière d'une voiture.
Problème : à 21H00, sa grand-mère lui demande de rentrer à la maison. Pas besoin de développer.
Paix à son âme.
