Two young French-Moroccans were killed on Tuesday evening in mysterious circumstances while riding jet-skis on Saidia Beach, Eastern North of Morocco.
According to available information, the two deceased had mistakenly entered Algerian waters near “Marsa Ben M’hidi” after getting lost in waters, along with three others.
The Moroccan-French nationals were then allegedly shot by Algerian border guards, leading to the deaths of two of them.
Identical sources to Hespress AR confirmed that one of those riding the jet skis is still currently detained by Algerian authorities, while no trace of two others.
The incident allegedly dates back to Tuesday evening, when the five young men set off from the recreational port of Marina Saidia on a trip on jet skis towards the “Ras El Ma” area of the Nador province.
However, on their way back towards Saidia, they mistakenly entered Algerian waters.
The same sources confirmed that the Regional Hospital in Berkane received two bodies, while an investigation is being conducted by members of the Royal Gendarmerie in Saidia and Berkane into the incident.
Mustapha Baitas, the official government spokesman, refused to answer a question regarding this case during the press conference that followed the government council meeting on Thursday, stressing that “this issue is currently within the jurisdiction of judicial authorities.”
