“Homo” finally passed away at his home located at a place called “derrière école publique de Foto” in Dschang. Two days earlier, the taxi driver, over 50-year old, well known in the city under this nickname, was taken to the Dschang district hospital, in a coma after expressly swallowing an important amount of acid, in order to die.

Relatives of the deceased say that after more than ten years of marriage, the trust which is the foundation of a couple, deserted them. And “Homo” we learn, was beginning to suspect his wife Helen of having extramarital affairs. But without hard evidence, he kept his cool temper until the 7 March.
