Suspects Arrested in Multiple Cities as Manhunt Continues for Burned Policeman’s Killers

Thanks to the geolocation system, the first elements of the investigation and the clues collected at the crime scene, the agents of the BNPJ, the DGST and the judicial police arrested the suspects on Monday and Tuesday in Berrechid, Saidia and Tangier, reports the daily Assabah. First, two brothers from Deroua, who had taken refuge in an apartment in Saidia a few days earlier, were arrested there.

Then the investigators searched an agricultural farm in the province of Berrechid where drugs were found and seized. The owner of the farm, arrested in Tangier, would have contacts with the two brothers arrested in Saadia, involved in a drug trafficking. On Tuesday morning, the elements of the judicial police surrounded an apartment in Deroua occupied by at least two individuals.

Investigators had already gone to the city on Saturday, where they arrested several people before releasing them a few hours later, as they had no connection to the policeman’s murder. Agents also went to the commune of Al Majjatia Oulad Taleb, under the prefecture of Mediouna, to arrest another suspect. The security services would be looking for an active drug trafficker between Deroua and Mediouna.

The agents are intensifying the searches in the Soualem-Daroua-Casablanca axis, at the level of Ain kdid, the sahel Ouled Hriz area where the policeman’s body was found burned, up to Ouled Saleh where traces of blood were discovered and in Bouskoura where his car was found burned. The investigation is ongoing.
