Rafik also confirmed that Khawla’s body has not yet been repatriated to Morocco. "We must perform a Muslim prayer in a mosque before her departure.

"Now you sacrifice yourself for me, but one day I will repay you. I will buy you a house, a car. I will reward you," she had assured her. Unfortunately, she will no longer be able to keep this promise.

The body of the young girl is expected on Wednesday or Thursday in Beni Ayat (Béni Mellal-Khénifra) in Morocco where the burial will take place, relatives have confirmed.
