Côte d’Ivoire : Une jeune bachelière battue à mort par son compagnon, inhumée à Ahouanou
The young high school graduate K. Bernadette , murdered in tragic circumstances, was buried this Saturday, January 31, 2026, in the sub-prefecture of Ahouanou , department of Grand-Lahou , in the Grands Ponts region.
The 22-year-old victim, who was scheduled to take her baccalaureate exams in 2025 , was allegedly brutally beaten by her partner , identified by the initials KE , with whom she lived. According to witness statements, the attack occurred while the young woman was in the bathroom of their home.
“That Wednesday, Bernadette was in the shower when her partner broke into the two-room house and began to beat her violently, without stopping despite her pleas,” a witness, BG, told us.
Residents reported seeing the suspect transporting the young woman, with the help of a motorcycle taxi, to the Ahouanou Urban Health Center (CSU) . However, after discovering the victim's death en route, the accused allegedly fled, abandoning his partner's lifeless body.
The victim's partner, GK , stated that he had paid for Bernadette's schooling from the 8th grade until she obtained her baccalaureate. Their relationship produced a daughter, currently in first grade in the village of Gbadi , also in the sub-prefecture of Ahouanou.
An investigation has been opened by the security forces to shed light on the circumstances of this crime and to find the suspect, who was still at large at the time of the events.
