Security services in Tangier have arrested a man originally from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in connection with a suspected murder case dating back two years at the Marina Smir leisure port near M’diq, authorities said.
The arrest was carried out through coordinated efforts between multiple Moroccan security agencies, including police in Tetouan and the Directorate General for Territorial Surveillance, following what officials described as close monitoring of the suspect’s movements after he left Ceuta weeks earlier.
Authorities said the suspect was wanted in connection with the killing of a young man from Tetouan, who was fatally stabbed with a sharp object inside the marina in an incident believed to be linked to a possible revenge motive.
Police said the man, known by the nickname “Tajina,” was arrested while in the company of a woman and briefly resisted arrest before officers brought the situation under control.
Preliminary findings also suggest investigators are examining whether his departure from Ceuta and subsequent movements to Tangier may be linked to other suspected criminal activity, broadening the scope of the inquiry.
The suspect has been placed in police custody under the supervision of the public prosecutor in Tetouan as part of an ongoing investigation aimed at determining the full circumstances of the case and any possible wider connections.
