Moroccan Man Stabs Sister-in-Law and Niece in Violent Family Dispute

This Friday afternoon, in the Hajjaj douar, a man in his forties stabbed his sister-in-law and her young daughter.

Following marital conflicts, the man went to his wife’s home armed with a bladed weapon, with the firm intention of taking revenge. He finds his sister-in-law alone with her daughter on the spot. Under the influence of anger, he commits the unthinkable and stabs them both before fleeing to an unknown destination.

The two victims were taken in critical condition to the Mokhtar Soussi provincial hospital in Taroudant to receive the necessary care, while the royal gendarmerie services opened an investigation to determine the circumstances of the case and issued a wanted notice against the fugitive.
