A 16-year-old boy in Bakoteh has allegedly threatened to kill his primary school girlfriend if she refuses to marry him.
According to sources, the teenager's threats were made clear in a series of text messages shared with What's On-Gambia.
When the girl considered involving the police, the boy responded with further threats: "Call them now to come and arrest me. Anytime I see you out, that will be your last day on earth."
The 16-year-old boy, who was recently been arrested for driving without a license, is an upper basic school student.
