A French tourist died after being attacked, like her husband, by an “unbalanced man” near Rabat, said the director of the hospital where the two victims had been transferred during the night from Monday to Tuesday.
This octogenarian woman “died of a head injury. Her husband is in stable condition,” said Dr. Leïla Derfoufi. The reason for this attack which occurs 48 hours before the World Cup-2022 semifinal between Morocco and France was not provided.
An individual who showed “signs of mental imbalance” was arrested and taken into police custody by the local gendarmerie, the same authorities said.
According to initial information, the man “attacked the two tourists for no apparent reason with the help of stones, causing injuries of varying severity,” added the same source, without further details.
An investigation is underway under the supervision of the prosecution.
