already laid hands on OUEDRAOGO Kiswendsida Veronique for the same reasons; At the bar, he declared that he did not recognise the facts; That if O. K. V and him came to blows it is precisely because she was providing contraceptives to his wife; BOUGMA Théophile as well as BOUGMA Emmanuel remained constant in their statements; The first one specified that the accused even killed his ducks and cats, and was waiting for him to react to harm his physical integrity; O.K. V declared herself a civil plaintiff and that the accused be condemned to pay her the sum of CFAF 23,650 (twenty-three thousand six hundred and fifty) as damages; That, this sum represents the costs relating to her medical care following the blows administered to her by B. E; The Legal Department requested that the accused be kept within the scope of this prejudice and that he be sentenced to 24 (twenty-four) months prison term and a fine of CFAF 600 000 (six hundred thousand); The accused pleaded for the clemency of the court; II- PROCEDURE A- Prosecution I-Constituting the offence Whereas under Article 348 of the Penal Code, anyone who conditionally threatens to harm another, is said guilty of an offence and is punishable by law with a criminal penalty; Whereas in the case at hand, it is clear that the accused B. E has first, by words, uttered death threats to O. K. V; That he then reminded his uncle BOUGMA Théophile, that he would put his threats into effect; That this constancy is established despite the denials of the accused; That persisting in his criminal initiative, the accused B. E even went to repeat his threats in front of the parents of his target; That, in addition, the planned offence, undoubtedly murder, is punishable by a criminal sentence; Whereas the accused was aware of the seriousness of the acts he was about to commit; whereas he was therefore driven by a guilty mind; That from all the above, it follows that the offence of conditional threats is constituted against the accused B. E; That it is appropriate to declare him guilty and sentencing against him; 2- Sentence Under Article 348 of the Penal Code, the offence of conditional threats is punishable by imprisonment for two to five years and a fine of between CFAF 600,000 and 1,500,000; Whereas in the case at hand, notwithstanding the fact that the accused B. E is a first-time an offender, the acts committed by him are singularized by their extreme seriousness; whereas his attitude before the court shows that he does not realize that his action is highly reprehensible, hence the risk of repetition of similar acts; Thus, to combine the educational and dissuasive virtues of the penalty of deprivation of liberty, B. E should be sentenced to 24 (twenty-four) months imprisonment and to an actual fine of CFAF 3
