Police Arrest Key Suspect in Moroccan Teen’s Gang Rape Case

After several months on the run, the police managed to apprehend one of the main suspects in the Khadija case, named after this teenager who was the victim of a collective rape for several weeks.
Sources cited by Alyaoum24 explain that the man was arrested last Monday by the gendarmes. It is the famous "Azeddine" whose first name was tattooed on several parts of the young woman’s body. Khadija’s father says he heard about this arrest but is still waiting for confirmation from the police.
Another suspect was also arrested. It is a certain "Salah", who had also disappeared after the outbreak of this case in the Beni Mellal region.
To recall, Khadija was kidnapped, tattooed, raped and sequestered for nearly 2 months by young people from her village, according to her testimony broadcast on social networks. The 12 alleged aggressors had been arrested and then prosecuted for "criminal conspiracy", "rapes", "kidnapping and sequestration", "human trafficking" and "consummated or attempted indecent assault with violence".
