She could have killed him. In Benin, a woman in her fifties attacked her 10-year-old grandson with a machete, accusing him of witchcraft. The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, in Lawéhoué, a village in the commune of Dogbo in the southwest of the country.
According to the second deputy mayor of the municipality, Rémi Kouhouénou, reported testimonies indicate that the child claimed to be responsible for the reproductive problems and other misfortunes encountered by some of his grandmother's children.
