Drug Gang Revenge Killing: Butcher Murdered in Marrakech

A butcher was kidnapped and murdered in Marrakech. His alleged attackers blame him for having contacted another criminal gang in the region.
The motive for the crime that horrified the residents of the commune of Aghmate is revenge, reports Assabah. Informed of his behavior, the butcher’s attackers, members of the second criminal gang in the locality, promised to take revenge. They set a trap for him and kidnapped him before subjecting him to this degrading treatment.
After abusing him, this criminal gang, specialized in drug trafficking that is rampant in the locality, left the victim’s body on an abandoned construction site. His body still bore the marks of the torture he had been subjected to when it was discovered.
Alerted, the local and security authorities went to the scene. After the usual findings, the victim’s body was transferred to the morgue for the needs of the investigation.
The initial investigations by the police elements led to the arrest of five of the suspects out of six. They will soon have to answer for their actions. As for the sixth suspect who fled, he is actively being sought.
