After nearly six months of trial, a Tangier court has delivered verdicts in the high-profile case involving the fatal stabbing of a student outside a school in late November.
According to the verdict obtained by Hespress, the juvenile criminal chamber at the Tangier Court of Appeal sentenced three minors, identified as Z.Z, M.B, and M.H, to eight years in prison each. The other two minors, Y.S and S.B, received five-year sentences.
The ruling came during a closed session held Tuesday, attended by the accused and their guardians.
The court acquitted all five of the charge of “failing to assist a person in danger,” but found them guilty of “participation in assault leading to death without intent to kill, using a bladed weapon.”
In addition to prison time, the minors were jointly ordered, with their legal guardians, to pay MAD 200,000 in damages to the family of the victim.
These latest sentences bring the total prison time handed down in the case to 54 years, after the main defendant, an 18-year-old, was previously sentenced to 20 years in prison.
