Brutal Crime Shakes Ouislane Before Iftar: Son of Police Officer Attacked, Perpetrator Arrested After Fierce Resistance

A shocking incident unfolded on Sunday in the Al-Majd neighborhood of Ouislane, near Meknes, just before Iftar. Salah Eddine, a student and the son of a police officer, was brutally attacked with a large knife, sustaining severe injuries.

According to local sources, the assailant, known for his aggressive behavior, carried out the attack in alarming circumstances, spreading fear and panic among residents. Security forces swiftly intervened and managed to arrest the perpetrator after facing fierce resistance. He has been placed under custody pending further investigation before being referred to the competent public prosecution.

This incident brings back memories of another tragic event that shook the city on February 24, when Amine El Qadri, the son of a police commissioner couple, was fatally attacked near Moulay Ismail High School. These recurring violent crimes highlight the growing concerns about public safety and the urgent need to strengthen security measures in residential areas.

The attack on Salah Eddine has sparked outrage and deep concern among Ouislane residents, who are increasingly alarmed by the rise in violent incidents. Many residents emphasized that such crimes are occurring at an alarming rate, urging authorities to reinforce security measures and implement stricter actions to curb violence.

In response to the incident, citizens have called for harsher penalties for violent offenders, arguing that leniency encourages repeat offenses. They have also demanded an increase in police patrols, particularly in high-risk areas during nighttime and pre-Iftar hours, when crimes such as assaults and thefts tend to escalate.

Meanwhile, security authorities continue their investigations to uncover the full details and motives behind the attack. Observers stress that tackling such crimes requires a comprehensive approach that combines security enforcement with preventive and awareness-raising measures to combat violence in all its forms.
