Rabat – On Tuesday, the Judicial Police Brigade in Ksar El-Kebir arrested a 16-year-old on suspicion of involvement in the rape and murder of a six-year-old girl. Investigators quickly identified a suspect, a neighbor of the victim, and arrested him the same afternoon. The suspect is now under judicial investigation supervised by the competent public prosecutor, tasked with uncovering the circumstances, motives, and full details behind the crime. The case has sparked widespread shock in the local community, raising renewed concerns about child safety and the need for stronger protective measures. In August, a 13-year-old boy, Bachir, suffered a violent gang rape during the annual Moulay Abdellah Amghar festival in El Jadida province.
