Decade-Old Double Murder in Morocco: Mother Accused of Killing Husband and Son

The accused and her accomplice brother had been arrested and brought before the competent prosecutor’s office. The judicial police, who have kept the investigation open since then, have just discovered new bones belonging to the son of the accused, suspected of having also killed the boy during the same period as his father, reports the daily Al Akhbar.

The boy’s bones have been entrusted to the scientific analysis laboratory of the DGSN to determine his age and the exact date of his death. The judicial police had questioned the disappearance of the child, just after the murder of his father. Suspecting the accused, the investigators continued the excavations, until the discovery of the remains of the boy. In preventive detention in the civil prison of Tetouan, the accused and her accomplice brother will be prosecuted for this second murder.

The facts date back to the year 2012, when the woman reported her husband’s disappearance to the police, claiming to have had no news of him since a person whose identity she did not know had come to pick him up at home by car. Regarding her son, she had said that he had gone abroad. Eleven years later, her brother and accomplice confessed, because of a dispute with his sister over the inheritance of a plot of land near Kenitra.
