Moroccan Prisoner Rejects Royal Pardon, Maintains Innocence in 1998 Decapitation Case

21 years behind bars will not have overcome the will of this man to be fully exonerated. A third royal pardon has been offered to him and a third time he rejects it. He is asking for the reopening of the investigation into the crime that sent him to life imprisonment: a case of murder and decapitation.

Mohamed Benztout, sentenced to life imprisonment after a crime committed in 1998, still claims his innocence. He says he is the victim of a judicial error. The crime in question was committed against a teacher. He was killed and decapitated, this in Kenitra.

His brother stated to AlYaoum24 that the reopening of this investigation will not be sterile because it would be enough to see how the murder was committed as well as the decapitation to understand that it is the work of a professional.

This relative indeed declares: "the one who cut up the victim’s body is a professional criminal. It is obvious when you look at the way the corpse was cut into pieces".

And he talks, in a video, about the work of a left-hander, while his brother is right-handed, and traces of a Mercedes car near the crime scene when the victim had stated before his death that he was being followed by a strange Mercedes where three strangers were...A 7 minute 30 second video.
