City folkie's trial begins
Drummer caught with knife and wife: Cop
By DEREK PUDDICOMBE, Ottawa Sun
The trial of a local African drum musician charged with attempted murder
and aggravated assault got underway yesterday afternoon.
An Ottawa police officer was the first to testify and told the court she
was the first to respond to a 911 call at 125 Woodridge Cres. on Nov. 30,
2003.
CALL FROM CHILD
"We received a 911 call from a young child," said Const. Shelley Pender.
"He had witnessed his father stabbing his mother."
Pender said when she arrived at the home, just behind the Bayshore
Shopping Centre at about 5:30 p.m., she ran up the stairs of the apartment
building and saw Kebba Jobateh at the top of a landing kneeling over his
wife with a knife.
"I thought it was a pile of clothing," Pender told the court because she
didn't see any movement. "It turned out to be the victim."
With her firearm drawn, Pender said she ordered Jobateh to stand up and
drop and knife he was holding in his left hand.
"He reacted immediately and dropped the knife," said Pender.
FESTIVAL REGULAR
Before being charged with allegedly stabbing his wife repeatedly in the
abdomen and neck, Jobateh was a fixture on the Ottawa folk music scene,
leading drumming circles and performing annually at the Ottawa Folk
Festival.
Coming to Canada from his native Gambia in 1982, Jobateh worked as a
briefing officer at CIDA and a university lecturer.
The trial continues today.
