Laayoune – HIBAPRESS
Police in the city of Laayoune have arrested a woman with a criminal record on suspicion of involvement in the murder of a guard ("assas") working in the fish market known as "Marché du Hout." According to security sources, the accused was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday, November 19, immediately after the crime was committed.
The sources confirmed that initial investigations indicate that the crime occurred inside the market while the victim was performing his duties, without revealing the motives or the existence of any previous dispute between the accused and the victim. The authorities indicated that the accused will face a judicial investigation, pending her appearance before the Public Prosecution, while the security services continue to gather evidence and complete the investigations to ensure the course of justice. The incident raises questions about the level of security in the traditional markets in the city, especially those in which workers and vendors have direct contact with visitors, which requires strengthening safety measures and protecting workers. The case is still in its initial stages, and investigations are underway to uncover the circumstances and determine responsibilities, while citizens hope that legal procedures will lead to the redress of the victim and the protection of markets from similar incidents.
