Infanticide in Guédiawaye: the accused saved by…

AW Kandé, a domestic servant in the Gadaye district of Guédiawaye, had a narrow escape. The latter, who gave birth alone and without assistance to a stillborn baby, was reported by her boss to the Wakhinane Nimzatt police station.

“Accused of having taken the life of the baby to whom she had just given birth a few hours earlier, the accused, who seemed very weakened and unable to stand on her feet, was unable to respond correctly, rewinds L’ Observer. Following a police requisition, she was sent to the gynecological department of Dalal Jamm hospital. On site, the midwives established that she had indeed given birth prematurely at six months, to a stillborn baby. The bloodhounds will then be sent to the Idrissa Pouye hospital in Grand-Yoff” where “closely monitored by the bloodhounds”, the cleaning lady benefits from post-natal care, “while the baby’s remains are sent to the coroner for autopsy » to determine the causes of death.

Exonerated by the certificate of the baby’s type of death, “referring to a natural death undoubtedly caused by the volume of work carried out by the pregnant woman”, AW Kandé, 25, returned free, underlines the newspaper. Who notes, however, that the bad luck for her is that it was the husband she had fled when leaving Vélingara, in the Kolda region, to reach the Senegalese capital where she first worked in Almadies before Guédiawaye, who came look for her.

Contacted by the sleuths, the latter immediately complied with the summons, “insisting on the fact that he is indeed the author of the pregnancy”, concludes L’Observateur.
