“I am in the twilight of my life”: Grandfather acquitted of livestock theft in Louga

In Louga, D. Sow, a septuagenarian from Thieppe accused of stealing 17 sheep and five goats, was acquitted on the benefit of the doubt. A witness identified him and his two grandsons, aged 33 and 30, near the animals, but the defense challenged the testimony. Sow said he had been searching for his missing horse with his grandsons. They received one-month suspended prison sentences, while the civil claimant’s demand for one million CFA francs in damages was rejected.
