On Monday August 7, the Casablanca and Tangier judicial police departments succeeded in arresting the main suspect who deliberately ran over a woman with a car, causing the victim’s death.

According to preliminary data, in the early hours of Saturday, the Casablanca-Anfa prefecture examined the body of a 27-year-old woman, after she had been deliberately run over by an unknown car and the driver fled the scene.

In a press release, the Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN) reported that a judicial investigation had identified the deceased, as well as the vehicle which had caused the crime, before the main suspect was arrested in Tangier, as part of a joint operation.

The tragedy is said to have started with an argument between the two people, before the driver went on to commit the act.

The investigation is also targeting a woman suspected of being involved in the management of a space for prostitution, after investigations confirmed that she had rented an apartment for the suspect and the victim, previously earmarked for such activities.

The main suspect was taken into custody and placed at the disposal of the ongoing judicial investigation, to define all the circumstances of the facts.
