After a first autopsy carried out at the Idrissa Pouye Hospital in Grand-Yoff, a counter-expertise is planned at the Principal Hospital in Dakar in order to clarify the circumstances of the death of Serigne Issa Touré, found dead in a silo in Bambilor. Le Quotidien, which gives the information, indicates that the body, exhumed sur ordre du procureur de Rufisque, devait être restitué à la famille ce mardi, mais la levée du corps a été reportée jusqu’à nouvel ordre.. The family of the religious guide, plunged into a painful wait, hoped to be able to organize the funerals in his native village of Kelle, but these are now postponed. The investigation continues with the intervention of the police scientifique et de la Section de recherches sur les lieux liés au défunt, adds the same source. According to relatives quoted by the newspaper, the results of the first autopsy have not yet been communicated, which entertains the confusion around the causes of death. The family demands the truth and hopes that the ongoing investigations will allow to remove the areas of shadow, in order to finally be able to mourn in dignity. Serigne Issa Touré, who has been missing since 3 June and is wanted by the police on charges of child abuse, acts against nature and rape of his disciples, was found dead last week. His relatives rejected the suicide thesis.
