After the shocking murder of Moroccan Achraf Thimouni in Stoneham, the body of the deceased is finally on its way to Morocco after a week of its discovery, as the investigation into his murder continues, according to Candian authorities.
Achraf Thimoumi, a student at the Montreal Rowing Technical Institute, was found dead on Monday, August 8 in a vehicle on “Chemin des Familles”, a wooded area of Stoneham in Quebec. The police authorities in Quebec confirmed last Wednesday, that the young man was the victim of a murder but still no suspect was arrested.
“The investigation is ongoing. I can not disclose more information not to harm the investigation, “said Hélène St-Pierre, the spokesperson of the Quebec authorities, in a statement to Le Soleil, a Quebec media.
“If we need to call on the citizens, we will. But for now, we’re not there,” the spokeswoman says to the media.
A fundraiser on the “Go Fund Me” platform raised the 7,000 dollars needed to repatriate the victim’s body. The financial goal was reached in only 24 hours.
“This amount is enough to cover the bill of the funeral home and the price of the plane ticket to bring the body to Morocco,” says Rachid Najahi, Co-organizer of the fundraiser.
After the autopsy, the body of the deceased was recovered by “Dar Al Imane Magnus Poirier Funeral Home” in Montreal, where a tribute and a prayer at the Masjid Noor Al-Islam Mosque was held on Sunday in Ashraf’s honor, right before the rapatriement late Tuesday.
The body of the young man will be received and buried properly by his family.
