With the help of his four sons, the sadistic and violent man committed a horrific act on his 65-year-old concubine, a retired teacher and civil registrar. Bedridden by the weight of his age, the man, with the help of his children, poured acid over his concubine before torturing her with a heated machete.

An investigation was launched after the victim filed a complaint with the Soa Gendarmerie Brigade. The violent man was arrested and his four accomplice children are still at large.

Thanks to this arrest, the inhabitants of the village of Ongandi, who had been terrorised by this violent man and his children, have broken their fearful silence. The many testimonies are spine- chilling. The family who had terrorised the village turned out to be a ‘serial killer’, as many people had been murdered by them.

During the investigation, the gendarmes discovered the corps of a man without ears in the family vault. According to witnesses, the man had been tortured and buried alive while visiting the village.

The aged, cruel and lawless individual is currently being interrogated at the Soa Gendarmerie Brigade.

The National Gendarmerie, a Public Service serving the public, urges the public once again to fearlessly report any suspicious person by calling 113.
