Repeat Offender Charged with Premeditated Murder of Police Inspector in Khemisset, Morocco

The individual, aged 25, is a repeat offender known to the police, involved in cases of theft, assault and battery, possession of weapons, disobedience and drug trafficking. He has already served six prison sentences since the age of 14, reports Al Akhbar.

The facts date back to the night of July 20 when a police patrol was confronted with three dangerous individuals who were trying to rob passers-by by threatening them with knives. The accused and his two accomplices fiercely resisted, inflicting several knife wounds to the head and chest of one of the police officers. The agent died after spending ten days in the intensive care unit of the military hospital in Rabat.

As for the killer, he was presented to the investigating judge, from the Ibn Sina University Hospital where he was hospitalized after being shot by the police during a security operation to neutralize him along with his two accomplices.

On Wednesday, the defendant was brought before the investigating judge, who prosecuted him for premeditated murder and the constitution of a criminal gang specializing in armed robbery, before placing him in pre-trial detention.
