Rabat - Following ambiguous circumstances surrounding the recent assassination of Fatmi Noureddine, an officer in charge of consular affairs at the Moroccan Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa, the Pretorian police arrested a man today in connection with the murder last week of the Moroccan diplomat.
According to the South African website Timeslive, the police arrested a Zimbabwean at his Monument Park home, close to the murder scene, today. The Moroccan diplomat was found lying in a pool of blood at his Pretoria home on Tuesday.
"The suspect was found with a watch, a camera and a cellphone and other items linking him to the murder,”according to Timeslive. In his possession also were “passports of at least 30 people, as well as several photographs, and passport and visa applications."
The Moroccan Foreign Ministry, which sent envoys to keep up with the security investigation into the killing of Moroccan diplomat, has not yet issued any statement.
