| Description: | Court proper. Begins with Alouitious I think, then Max. I am sitting facing downhill North, with the accused woman Edna downhill under another house (invisible) and the other accused Peter Paul Vyînkê uphill invisible from me. The case: Aloutious' daughter Edna and his Son Peter Paul have had sexual intercourse. Apparently she confessed the sin, originally to Mwolâ, claiming that force was used (so semi-rape, but people don't believe her). Alouitious had tried to hush it up, but then it got out. Peter Paul's original defence was Rosanna his wife had slept with Mwolâ (treated laughably) and that this had led him to do it. But at court he rapidly confessed and said "sorry". They are half brother-sister - same F (Alouitious, Kmatpi) but different mothers, since he had two wives who were closely related membersof the same clan, Nkêê Daa. Thus there are a number of delicts: (a) adultery by Peter Paul, damages owed to his wife by Edna, (b) effective adultery by Edna against Mwolâ, since she is unmarried but effective wife of Mwolâ who pays suppoirt for her children by a prior case I filmed, requiring payment by Peter Paul, (c) clan incest and incest simpliciter. A number of people pointed out that a while ago they would have been eaten by now. The case dragged because compensation could not be agreed. First Rosanna demanded her husband to be sent to trial, but then she agreed to compensation. Then Peter Paul produced a Chomo and a precious ndap as his payment to Mwolâ. Then Edna ought to have produced the same as compensation to Rosanna. That would have settled the "customary" compensation, but it was noted that in court each would have had to pay K1000 to the injured parties (Rosanna and Mwolâ). Despite an hour and half cajoling, Edna refuses to pay the chomo and ndap. Alouitious refuses to help, saying "we are all sons of dogs" (he had just bought two other sons out of Giligili jail using bagi, so claimed to have no valuables). At the end, the magistrate Kostka, with Max the mediator doing most of the talking, says OK, no deal, returns the chomo and ndap to Peter Paul, and puts the case before the civil authorities (he will radio Tagula to report in the morning). Speakers included: Protoagonists: Peter Paul, Edna, Alouitious, Mwolâ, Rosanna. Kostka: magistrate. Max and Thomas: mediators. Regius Teluwe, brother of Mwolâ, Chris, Yidika, towards end Joseph. | |
