A horrific crime has shaken the N'Zérékoré region of Guinea after a prophet known as Thomas was brutally murdered in his home in Koulé, a town about 42 kilometers from N'Zérékoré. The crime occurred on the night of September 19-20, 2026, and has sparked widespread outrage. The prosecutor of the N'Zérékoré Court of First Instance, Moussa Camara, has announced that a judicial investigation has been opened into the murder.
According to details provided by the prosecutor, the suspect, identified as Ernest Koulemou, attacked the prophet's home with a knife. The suspect attempted to stab the prophet's daughter-in-law, who cried out for help, and also injured their 8-year-old daughter, who was left with severe injuries. The prosecutor revealed that the suspect had used a knife to try and poignard the daughter-in-law, and when she cried out for help, he fled the scene.
The situation took a more tragic turn when the suspect ambushed an ambulance that was transporting the victims to a hospital. The suspect attacked the driver and then turned on the prophet, who had been in the ambulance, and stabbed him multiple times in the chest. The prophet died at the scene, while the mayor of Koulé, Alphonse Koulemou, who was also in the ambulance, intervened and was injured in the process.
The mayor, Alphonse Koulemou, was stabbed in the hand during his heroic intervention and later received medical treatment. The 8-year-old girl is still receiving medical treatment at the N'Zérékoré regional hospital, fighting for her life. The suspect, Ernest Koulemou, was arrested and has been charged with the crimes.
