Man Arrested for Selling Human Skull at Moroccan Market for 50 Cents
Saturday 16 February 2019, by
The security forces of Beni Mellal arrested on Friday a man who had just put a human skull up for sale on the old market.
The merchant had placed the skull on the ground, in the old market of Beni Mellal, placed candles next to it, no doubt to make people think of certain uses that could be made of it, and set the price of the skull at... 5 dirhams, in the middle of the crowd and to the great surprise of passers-by.
A police patrol later arrested the suspect before taking him to the police station to investigate and find out where and how he had obtained this human skull, especially since there is an old cemetery near the market. Had he therefore profaned the tombs for 5 dirhams? Was he planning to set up a business if it had worked?
The skull was transferred to the Beni Mellal morgue for a new burial, which will be done after the investigation and the administrative procedures related to this type of case.
