Moroccan Man’s Burned Body Found; Son Suspected in Gruesome Parricide Case

Monday 11 March 2019, by Amine

The gendarmes stationed in Kelaa Sraghna discovered on Saturday the body of a man who would have been the victim of a parricide. The remains had been thrown into a hole after the facts.

The man would, according to Alyaoum24 which cites local sources, have been killed by his own son who then burned his body before burying it near the family home. The alleged murderer is currently being questioned by the police who are trying to determine the exact circumstances of the tragedy.

The discovery of the body would have required two days of intense searches with the help of trained dogs.

Other family members, including the victim’s wife, are, according to the same source, being questioned to shed full light on this story before presenting the alleged murderer to the judge.
