Morocco nabs 5 more over killing of touristsTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Security authorities in Morocco have arrested five more suspects linked to the stabbing death of two Scandinavian travelers last week in the country’s tourist hub of Atlas Mountains, an anti-terror official says.

The latest arrests were made in several cities in the Arab kingdom, bringing the number of suspects arrested in the double-murder case to 18, Chief of Morocco’s Central Bureau for Judicial Investigation Abdelhak Khiam said on Monday.

Danish Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, and Norwegian Maren Ueland, 28, were murdered on December 17. They were found dead near the village of Imlil on route to Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak and a popular hiking and trekking destination.

“The two victims were stabbed, had their throats slit, and were then beheaded,” Khiam added.
