Very quickly, Kébémer’s gendarmerie challenges Bathie.
Faced with investigators, confessions are not long. The accused explains that his father wanted to recover a seeder, that the tone rose, then that a fight broke out. Bathie says he received a stick before replying with a Coupe-cut neck at the jawwhich he calls “light”.
But over hearings, The version of Bathie Kâ evolves strangely. First, he accuses his father of having wanted to attack him, then declared before the criminal chamber having been Manipulated by evil spirits. He even says: ” I didn’t want him to die … ».
