The case surrounding the death of underage shepherd Mohamed Bouslikhen in the Agbalo community of Midelt Province has taken a new turn. The investigating judge at the Court of Appeal in Errachidia has ordered the exhumation of his body for a new autopsy, following a request filed by his mother, Touda Ouaissa, through her lawyer, Sabri El Hou, as part of the ongoing investigation into what has been described as a «mysterious death», according to SNRTnews. The order was carried out on October 15 in the presence of members of the Royal Gendarmerie, local authorities, and the victim's parents. The body was transferred to the Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca, where a three-member medical committee is conducting a re-autopsy. The results will be submitted to the investigating judge for review. This development follows a decision by the public prosecutor at the Errachidia Court of Appeal last August to open an investigation against an unknown individual on suspicion of premeditated murder, in accordance with Article 392 of the Penal Code. It should be recalled that the victim was found hanged on June 16 in the Boumia area of Midelt Province, under circumstances that remain the focus of an extensive judicial investigation aimed at uncovering the full truth behind his death.
