RABAT: Two dozen suspects are set to go on trial in Morocco on Thursday for offences linked to the gruesome murder of two young Scandinavian hikers late last year that shocked the North African country.
A total of 24 defendants are due to appear before a criminal court in Sale to answer charges including promoting terrorism, forming a terrorist cell and premeditated murder. But that all changed when a video showing one of the victims being beheaded - filmed by one of the killers on a mobile phone - circulated on social networks.The video did the rounds online in Morocco, Norway and Denmark.
Police quickly arrested a first suspect in the suburbs of Marrakesh, and three others were arrested a few days later when they tried to leave the city by bus.They made a living from"small jobs" and were educated to a"very low" level, according to investigators.
