Gambiaj.com – (THIES, Senegal) – A district court in Thiès on Monday heard a contentious adultery case involving a married woman and a close friend of her husband, in proceedings marked by conflicting accounts, allegations of betrayal, and claims of mystical manipulation.
The accused, identified as F.K.N, is being prosecuted for alleged adultery, while P.M.T, described as a longtime friend of her husband, is facing charges of complicity.
According to the prosecution, the incident dates back to a night when the husband left the family home to attend to his farm located over 20 kilometers from Keur Moussa. It is alleged that during his absence, P.M.T. seized the opportunity to visit the residence discreetly.
Testimony before the court indicated that around 1 a.m., P.M.T. entered the couple’s bedroom. The husband’s younger brother, who was present in the house, said he witnessed the entry and, suspicious of the situation, promptly alerted his elder brother by phone.
The husband told the court that he rushed back home and found the bedroom locked. Sensing wrongdoing, he summoned his father and brother to serve as witnesses before forcing entry into the room.
He claimed that upon entering, he found his wife and his friend naked, with the woman on top of the man, in the marital bed.
The confrontation quickly escalated, drawing the attention of neighbors and turning the incident into a public spectacle. The husband subsequently filed a complaint with the gendarmerie, accusing his wife of adultery and insults and his friend of complicity.
In her defense, F.K.N. denied engaging in any sexual relationship with P.M.T. She acknowledged that he had made advances toward her but insisted she resisted.
She further claimed that the man had introduced her to so-called mystical practices purported to help her conceive, alleging that substances he provided altered her behavior and left her in a state she could not control.
Despite admitting to being found in a compromising position, she rejected the accusation of adultery.
P.M.T., for his part, admitted being present in the room and confirmed that both individuals were undressed at the time they were caught. However, he denied that any sexual act occurred, dismissing claims of mystical practices and attributing the situation to what he described as “the work of the devil.”
Maintaining his complaint, the husband reiterated his sense of betrayal, telling the court he was deeply hurt by both his wife and his friend. He emphasized his longstanding relationship with P.M.T., noting that the latter had been close to the family since childhood and had even played a role in formalizing his marriage.
The younger brother, considered a key witness, supported the husband’s account, stating that he saw P.M.T enter the bedroom and later found both individuals in a compromising state.
After hearing all parties, the public prosecutor called for the law to take its course without specifying a sentencing recommendation.
The court has reserved its judgment, with a verdict expected on May 11, 2026.
