In the Derabla douar located in the rural commune of Souaken in the province of Larache, a mother ended her brother’s life on Monday, November 18, by beating him with a sickle, we learn from a judicial source . Concerning the motive for the crime, specified the same judicial source, it is a dispute which is currently in the hands of justice and which concerns the inheritance of a plot of agricultural land.
Indeed, still according to the same source, around 3 p.m., this mother, aged forty-four, arrived at the douar, in the company of her son, aged nineteen, from the town of Ksar Kebir. From the start of their meeting, it was clear that she had no intention of seeking to find common ground and resolve the dispute. Because, as soon as she saw him, she began to insult him so that her son, who was armed with a stick, would hit him several times.
Mercilessly, she brought out a sickle that she was hiding under her clothes and struck him several times on the head and chest. She only stopped once he lost consciousness, while lying in a pool of blood. In a pitiful state, he was evacuated to the emergency department of the provincial hospital in Ksar Kebir where he died. The suspect and his son were arrested by members of the royal gendarmerie and held in police custody before being brought before court.
