Two young Moroccan men were found dead in Tunisia this Wednesday, March 9, after reportedly traveling to the North African country to immigrate to Italy.

According to Hespress AR sources, the young men were from the Sidi Moumen district of Casablanca, and have been reported missing for several months now.

The families of the deceased received the devastating news today, while the same source confirmed that their bodies are in the mortuary of the Habib Bourguiba Hospital in the Tunisian city of Sfax.

The bodies of the two young men have been registered in the mortuary since December 25, as nearly three months have passed since their death without the families receiving any notification of the matter.

A relative of one of the deceased, whose body was identified in the Habib Bourguiba Hospital, explained that his brother left the country for Tunisia in order to pass through it to Italy last September.

The same spokesman indicated that his brother, who was born in 1993, wanted to emigrate to Italy, and he got in touch with one of the organizers of irregular immigration, before departing to Tunisia.

Regarding the rest of the missing youth of Sidi Moumen, the same spokesman explained that their relatives have not yet received information about them, which makes them fear that their fate will be similar to the two boys’.

Hespress AR sources confirmed that, after receiving the news, authorities in the Sidi El-Bernoussi district began conducting investigations and collecting information about the disappeared, to try and locate them or track their movement.

In the meantime, the families of the disappeared youth from Sidi Moumen are waiting to verify the identities of other Jon Doe bodies in the Tunisian hospital, to see if they belong to their children.
