A 20-year-old woman, Ndèye Bigué Sène, has allegedly been k+lled in Tivaouane, Senegal, in a suspected ritual linked to a quest for wealth.
The suspect, identified as B. Ndiaye, a traditional spiritual practitioner and former fisherman, was arrested by officers of the Tivaouane urban police station following the discovery of the victim’s body.
According to local media, Ndiaye allegedly confessed to the k+lling, telling investigators that another practitioner known as “Coulibaly” instructed him to find a young virgin, give her an unknown substance, collect her bl%od and k+ll her.
Ndèye, who had travelled to Tivaouane for the Gamou religious celebrations, was reportedly found d+ad in a bush on Saturday, August 22, with multiple injuries. She had allegedly been st@bbed four times with a “naw-naw,” a type of kn+fe, before being str@ngled.
Reports said the suspect had previously provided spiritual services for Ndèye while she prepared for her 2026 baccalaureate examinations. Although she did not obtain her diploma, the two reportedly remained in contact.
Investigators believe Ndiaye later contacted the young woman and arranged a meeting. She reportedly left her home around 8 p.m. on Friday, August 21, but her body was discovered the following afternoon.
Police reportedly traced the suspect through neighbourhood inquiries and mobile phone records. After being confronted with the evidence, he reportedly confessed to the k+lling but denied r@pe allegations.
An autopsy will determine whether the victim was s3xually a§§aulted. The suspect remains in police custody as investigations continue.
