Three bodies bearing traces of fatal wounds from a hunting weapon were discovered on Saturday morning on a road in the Al Hoceima province.

The three corpses, all male, were discovered by members of the Royal Gendarmerie on the side of the RP 5204, near the locality of Chakrane (Al Hoceima province).

Two bodies were discovered inside a vehicle registered in Spain, while the third corpse was lying on the road.

According to the initial elements of the investigation, it appears to be a settling of scores, as the driver of the abandoned vehicle had a criminal record and was known for his illicit activities related to drug trafficking. The investigation is underway under the authority of the competent Public Prosecutor's Office.
