The provincial judicial police service in the Casablanca security directorate opened a judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecution, on Friday evening, October 17th, to determine the circumstances and background of a police officer's attempt to commit suicide after being involved in committing a premeditated murder using his service weapon.
According to the information available up to this stage of the investigation, the police officer, who works in the motorcycle squad, committed premeditated murder using his service weapon against a woman he knew, who was with him in a private car, for reasons and backgrounds that the investigation is currently working on to determine and understand its true motives. During the intervention of a security patrol to arrest the suspected police officer, he tried to escape, intentionally firing two shots without registering any physical injuries among the security elements who initiated the intervention, before attempting to end his life, firing a shot that caused him serious injury to the head. The suspected police officer has been kept in the intensive care unit at the hospital in a critical health condition, while the victim's body has been deposited in the morgue pending a medical examination, while field research and technical expertise continue to reveal the motives and reasons for committing this crime, which the initial data of the investigation suggests is related to emotional motives.
