The body of a young Moroccan man, identified as Mohamed Fadel Kroum from Morocco’s southern provinces, was discovered Friday in the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott, days after he was reported missing under mysterious circumstances in late April 2026.
According to consistent Hespress AR sources, the body was found inside a residence suspected to be linked to the main suspect in an alleged homicide case.
The discovery followed search operations and investigations carried out by Mauritanian security authorities, who have since opened an urgent inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the death and uncover all details related to the case. Initial findings and possible motives have not yet been made public.
The incident has sparked shock and grief among the victim’s family and acquaintances, drawing significant attention from local public opinion.
Morocco’s Consulate General in Nouakchott has been involved in the case since the first reports of the disappearance, coordinating closely with Mauritanian authorities to monitor developments in the investigation.
The victim’s family said it had filed a formal complaint with security and judicial authorities after receiving confirmed information that a Moroccan national suspected in the case had arrived in the city of Laayoune from Nouakchott via passenger transport, passing through the international bus station on Skikima Street in central Laayoune.
The family has called for the suspect’s immediate arrest and for a thorough judicial investigation to clarify the full circumstances of the case and establish legal accountability.
They also stressed the need to uncover the complete truth and secure justice for the victim, as mourning continues following the tragic outcome of a disappearance that had raised concern for weeks.
