usual as if nothing had happened. He was very close to me. I trusted him with my money. I used to send him on errands. I asked him to take a walk with me. Because of my love for him, I did not want to ask him anything in public which was why I asked him to come with me. We went and sat at the garage and I asked him if it was true that he had raped PW 1? He denied having raped PW 1 and I said ok it was not a problem. I said to him that he is my friend and that before I took the matter to the police, he should tell me the truth so that the matter would be solved in the family. He kept quiet. We went to a restaurant called Lama Lama where we usually sit and drink ATAYA (Chinese Tea). The people at Lama Lama were myself, the accused, Babacar Mbaye, Yusuf Ndoye and one Mamadou Keita, the watchman at Lama Lama. The accused and I found the other people at Lama Lama. After a while, I told Babacar Mbaye to ask the accused to tell him the truth about this matter. Babacar Mbaye agreed and the two stood aside and spoke. I did not hear what they were saying. They then came back and joined us and Babacar Mbaye told me that the accused agreed that he committed the act but I said that I did not believe it unless the accused told me that himself. The two men then sat down and Babacar Mbaye told the accused to tell the group what he had told him whilst they were outside. The accused then said that he had done the act to PW 1 and asked for forgiveness since he was driven by SATAN. I requested the whole group to go and inform Adama Faal about the accused’s confession since they had already reported the matter to the police. I called one Alpha to accompany the group as a witness. We went back to my compound and sat. This was when I called Alpha. The accused confessed and asked for forgiveness. Adama Faal asked if she should inform the accused’s boss or his father. The accused said he wanted his boss, Alhagie Mendy to be informed. Since it was night time, I told them to wait until the next morning to inform 6
