Mystery Surrounds Death of 22-Year-Old in Agadir: Accident or Assault?

On the web, Internet users have reported that a fight broke out between young people on the evening of Saturday, February 5, in a restaurant in the Sonaba district of Agadir. Amine Chariz, a 22-year-old young man, was admitted to the emergency services of the Hassan II hospital. On Tuesday, his death was announced on Instagram by Internet users, but also by his family. "Justice for Amine Chariz", "the son of a prominent businessman in the city of Agadir hit him on the head with a baseball bat, which led to internal bleeding and a skull fracture".

According to the victim’s relatives and friends, the prosecutor of the king near the court of first instance of Agadir ordered the opening of an investigation to shed light on the young man’s death. Some Internet users mention a death by car accident (they say that Amine jumped out of the car himself), while others talk about a murder. "My son did not have an accident, my son was injured. Yesterday I arrived from Agadir Al Massira airport directly to the Hassan II hospital. I entered the intensive care unit to see my son, I started to examine his body, he had no scratches. He had only one injury to the head. I even kissed his feet begging him to wake up. He had no other injuries than the one to his head," the mother of Amine said in a video statement delivered to a whistleblower.

According to some sources, five individuals (4 boys and 1 girl) have already been arrested and placed in custody as part of this case, reports Hespress. "So far, neither the hypothesis of murder nor that of a traffic accident have been confirmed. An autopsy is underway and its results will help clarify this case," they say. Pending the autopsy report, Internet users have launched the hashtag #Justicepouraminechariz.
