Moroccan Petty Murder In a Mosque In Marrakesh
As a Moroccan, I hadn't heard about crimes happening inside Mosques until I heard about this one in a mosque in the tourism capital of Morocco, Marrakesh. And when I heard about it happening in the kingdom of sun, Morocco, I was intrigued and so surprised to find out that the police in Marrakech arrested an individual, 47 years old, for his involvement in the murder of a fifty-year-old. The suspect surprised the victim while he was alone after the Asr prayer. The Asr prayer ("afternoon prayer") is one of the five mandatory salah (Islamic prayer) at the Benkaddour mosque, inflicting fatal blows and wounds with a knife, taking his soul in the Holy Place.
