Moroccan Man Jailed for Alleged Murder of Ex-Wife and Children in Spain

The accused is being prosecuted for three counts of murder and violation of sentence, according to sources from the High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha to EFE. The case came to light after the discovery of the bodies of Amal, the defendant’s ex-wife, and her two children in a building near their home. The woman, also of Moroccan origin, had filed a complaint for domestic violence against the defendant with the Court of First Instance of San Clemente last October.

The judge had sentenced the latter to a sentence of 40 days of community service (TIG), a ban on possessing and carrying weapons, approaching the woman and communicating with her for a period of 16 months. Following this decision in force since December 2023, the defendant could only approach or communicate with the victim in February 2025. But the Moroccan found a way to enter the victim’s home without arousing suspicion.

The defendant dug a hole from a neighboring building to that of his family and killed the woman and their two children, aged about 5 and 7 years old. It is in this building that the three bodies were found on Friday. The residents of Las Pedroñeras were shocked by this tragedy. They organized a tribute on Monday in memory of Amal and her children. With the help of the government delegate in Castilla-La Mancha, the bodies of the victims will be repatriated to Morocco, their country of origin.
