French Father Suspected in Tragic Murder of Two Children at Marrakech Hotel

No one knows the reasons why and under what conditions the two children were killed. They were found unconscious next to their 72-year-old father, who is currently in a coma. According to the investigators, it appears that the latter would have killed his children by deliberately injecting them with a toxic product, before injecting himself with the same product, reports the daily Assabah.

According to the same source, a family conflict would be at the heart of this drama. Residing in France, the couple were living happily until the day when the mother of the two victims, without consulting her husband, decided to settle permanently in Morocco with her children. They will eventually divorce. This is how the father decided to go to Marrakech to see his children, to whom he proposed to spend the night with him in his hotel. The rest is what the police discovered with the two deceased children and the father in critical condition. Moreover, he is still in intensive care.

Many elements found at the hotel, such as a handwritten letter, syringes, point to the father as the sole responsible for this tragedy. There are also precedents like his opposition to his ex-wife’s decision to settle in Morocco with the two children that do not plead in his favor.

The investigation continues in order to determine all the gray areas in this case, identify the product injected into the children. The mother of the two victims was heard and the police continue their investigations.
