The case of the Khénifra kidnapper has not finished arousing the interest and curiosity of local public opinion. Several questions remain unanswered and clarity is lacking. Since his arrest by the police on Sunday evening, it is still not possible to determine the charge against this mysterious kidnapper who tried to abduct the schoolboy in Al Massira square in Khénifra. Saved in extremis and by miracle by passing citizens, the child is still traumatised by the event. "My son is traumatised by this case and I demand justice. The kidnapper must be punished and the investigation must go further to find out about all the unfortunate children who may have been victims of this monster," declared the victim's mother to "Libé" via telephone.
The accused, who was presented before the King's prosecutor at the court of first instance, is in his sixties and claims to be from a city in the Rif. According to elements of the investigation, the man in question claims to be a nurse, but sources close to the investigation assured that he had a badge presenting him as a paediatrician. Still according to these sources, the kidnapper denied all the accusations. He maintains that he is a simple benefactor who wanted to draw the child's attention to the evils of his obesity. Something that the investigators did not believe, of course. Which pushed, according to our sources, the King's prosecutor to return this mysterious file to the police for additional information and deepening of the investigation.
Civil society has also stepped up to the plate and we believe we know that the "Don't touch my child" Association is trying to contact the victim's mother to support her and condemn this new crime against childhood, especially since the father is a worker abroad and would only return to the country in a week. Furthermore, the accused is said to have been divorced since 1989 and is the father of three children. We remember that the arrest of the individual in question had calmed the tension within the city. Now all attention is focused on the outcome of this file.
During his arrest by elements of the judicial police, medicines and medical equipment were seized in the aforementioned vehicle. According to some sources, the police also seized a bladed weapon and a sabre. But what intrigues more than one is the type of medical equipment that suggests a network of human organ trafficking. This does not in any way rule out the thesis of paedophilia. Which made the mother say during her interview with "Libé" that the police should proceed with a search of the kidnapper's home to clear up this case. Moreover, the accused's entourage could also inform the investigators and put them on the right track and the true motives for this attempted abduction. It remains to be specified that the mysterious kidnapper was, at the time of his arrest, in possession of a large sum of money. Case to follow!
