Man Jailed for Threatening to Kill His Mother and Burn Her House

Man Jailed for Threatening to Kill His Mother and Burn Her House

Magistrate Sahr Kekura of the Pademba Road Magistrate Court in Freetown has ordered the detention of Mohamed Sesay on charges including threats to murder, threats to commit arson, and insulting behavior.

 

The court alleges that on the evening of September 27, 2024, Sesay threatened to kill his mother, Kadiatu Mansaray, and burn down her house. He is also accused of using offensive language with the intent to provoke a public disturbance.

 

In court, the prosecution's witness, Mansaray, identified Sesay as her son and described the distress caused by his threats and insults. She recounted how her son’s actions left her feeling deeply humiliated.

 

The defense argued for bail, citing Sesay's family responsibilities and expressing hope for an out-of-court resolution. However, Magistrate Kekura denied bail, expressing concerns that Sesay might interfere with his mother, as they share a residence.

 

The case is set to continue on November6, 2024.
