D. Diop lets loose: “I have often slept with my brothers’ wives”

Shepherd D. Diop is standing trial before the Mbour Criminal Court for the alleged rape of his sister-in-law, A. Sène, and death threats. The alleged incident took place on the night of December 31, 2021, in Nguéniène: he reportedly took advantage of his brother’s absence to assault her and later threatened her daughters. A. Sène remained silent for three months for fear of retaliation before filing a complaint; Diop denies the charges and claims his brother plotted against him. A verdict is expected on November 20, after a nephew presented as a key prosecution witness recanted in court.
