Rabat, Morocco (TMT)- The two criminals who killed all members of a family after throwing huge rocks at their car at night time in Morocco’s Marrakesh-Agadir highway received the death penalty.

The last person who was executed in Morocco, in 1993, was a highly ranked public official who was working for the national police, well-known in the country by his nick-name “Commisire Tabit.”

Tabit was convicted for multiple counts of “indecent assault, rape violence, rape and abduction”, and “barbaric acts and incitement to riot”. The man assaulted hundreds of victims and abused of his powers either to commit more barbaric acts and rapes, or at least to conceal them.

He was arrested in February 1993, sentenced in March 1993 and executed on August 9 of the same year.
