Tambacounda: Fuel dispute turns fatal, farmer held in custody

A dispute over fuel for a Jakarta motorcycle turned into a fight around noon on October 9 in Tambacounda’s Gourel Diadié neighborhood. Adama Sow, visiting the family of Alassane Diallo from the village of Saré Saloum, died while being rushed to hospital after the altercation. A medical report attributed his death to decompensated hypertrophic and ischemic cardiomyopathy triggered by exertion and physical shock. Farmer Alassane Diallo, born in 2000, admitted fighting with Sow and was placed in custody on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter; he is due to be referred to the prosecutor after the preliminary investigation.
