After three days of tracking, the three men suspected of killing the two Scandinavian tourists were arrested yesterday morning at the Marrakech bus station.

The latter were inside a bus that was supposed to take the direction of Agadir, according to the investigators. The men were spotted by a street vendor who then informed the police.

In their bags, the police found four knives (three large and one small), mobile phones, a slingshot, a little cash (225 dirhams), a Quran and a watch.

The first suspect had been arrested on Tuesday morning in Marrakech. All four had pledged allegiance to the terrorist group Daesh in a video that circulated on Twitter yesterday and was later authenticated by the services of the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ).
