Moroccan Migrant Fatally Stabbed at Ceuta Port, Suspect Arrested
A Moroccan in his twenties was stabbed to death at the port of Ceuta where many Moroccans are waiting for the right moment to illegally reach southern Spain.
The young man arrived around 7 a.m. at the Ceuta hospital, reports the local website El Faro de Ceuta, which specifies that he had been transferred there by the local police.
The victim had a stab wound, probably a knife, in the femoral artery (main vessel of the thigh) as well as another on the left hand, according to the same source.
The Civil Guard has already arrested a suspect and is continuing its investigation into the facts in order to determine the responsibility (or not) of the young man arrested. The nationality of the alleged aggressor has not been given.
What is known so far, according to the same source, is that there was an altercation between the two people during which at least one knife blow was given.
In recent weeks, several fights between Moroccans and Algerians have taken place near the port of Ceuta for "control of the territory". Many people have been injured, sometimes seriously, on both sides, but it is not yet known whether this murder is related to any rivalry between the two clans.
