Tuesday 15 January 2019, by Said

A woman suspected of being involved in a case of kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, illegal sexual relationship and failure to report a crime was arrested by the judicial police brigade in Bouznika.

In a statement, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) indicates that it has opened an investigation following the dissemination of a video showing a "person held hostage in a house and assaulted by several individuals, including women".

The facts date back to December 22 last, specifies the DGSN, according to which the investigation made it possible to identify the victim and to arrest the suspect. "A dispute between the accused, who were in a state of intoxication, would be at the origin of this crime," it is added.

The other people involved in this case are currently being sought by the police.
