Yeumbeul : surpris en pleins ébats dans un chantier, un Sdf et un tapissier écopent de 7 ans ferme
The Pikine-Guédiawaye court sentenced Mr. Touré (29 years old, homeless) and MY Bâ (27 years old, upholsterer) to seven years in prison for "unnatural acts" in a case that occurred in Yeumbeul, more precisely in the Afia 5 district. The sentence includes 100,000 FCFA in damages that the defendant Mr. Touré will have to pay to each of the civil parties.
According to L'Observateur, which attended the hearing, the events date back to the night of May 3-4, around 3:00 a.m. The site guard, A. Touré, claims he was alerted by moans before catching the two men in the act. To cover their escape, one of the defendants allegedly attacked him with a "spear spray," while the other jumped from the site's rooftop terrace. In their panic, the fleeing men abandoned a pair of trousers, shoes, a bottle of alcohol, and a national identity card at the scene.
The following day, "like a murderer returning to the scene of the crime," the defendant, Mr. Touré, nevertheless returned to the scene of the crime to try to retrieve his belongings. Spotted by neighbors, he narrowly escaped being lynched before being extracted at the last minute by the Yeumbeul Comico Research Brigade. His co-defendant was later found in a medical facility where he was receiving treatment after his fall.
In court, the accounts clashed dramatically. The security guard maintained that he had caught the two men in the act. Conversely, the defendants denied everything, claiming a "conspiracy" orchestrated after a night of drinking and violence. The young upholsterer even accused the security guard of sexual assault, repeatedly stating, "I am not gay."
The prosecution had requested a ten-year prison sentence, arguing that the abandoned physical evidence fully corroborated the guard's version of events. The defense, for its part, denounced a case riddled with inconsistencies and a complete lack of medical expertise. The court ultimately found both defendants guilty, reports the daily newspaper of the Groupe Futurs Médias (GFM).
At the hearing, the same source notes, the revelations caused considerable commotion in the courtroom, plunging the proceedings into a tense atmosphere, to the point that the presiding judge threatened to "clear the courtroom" to restore order. This verdict comes amid a surge in cases related to homosexual practices before Senegalese courts, particularly following the toughening of penalties for sodomy, which amended Article 319 of the Penal Code, passed at the end of March.
