Moroccan Man Arrested in Melilla for Fatal Stabbing of Brother-in-Law

According to the Europa Press agency, the 53-year-old man, whose identity has not been revealed, is said to have murdered his Moroccan brother-in-law, following a family dispute with his wife. A domestic scene in the night of Wednesday, December 4th to Thursday, December 5th would be the origin of the tragedy.

Seeing his sister assaulted by her husband, the victim, a young Moroccan of 35 years old, wanted to come to her aid. But the situation degenerated, and the brother-in-law received fatal blows to the skull with a stick.

The aggressor then got rid of the body, burying it in a drainage canal under a bridge near a football field. The alleged murderer was arrested at the end of the day.
