The national police have opened an investigation to identify and apprehend the alleged perpetrators of this deadly assault. In this context, the agents have viewed security cameras near the bar as well as those of the traffic to identify the alleged perpetrators of this savage assault. They have also spoken with residents, looking for potential witnesses to provide them with information on the circumstances and suspects of the assault.
Acts of aggression and violence among young people have multiplied since the lifting of the curfew in the city. Before the case of the Moroccan in Cales de Majorca, a Dutch tourist had been savagely beaten by eight individuals in Platja de Palma. He was admitted in critical condition to the Son Espases hospital where he remained until his death this weekend.
