A group of more than 110 Danish tourists have returned to the scene of the murder of the two Scandinavian hikers that was perpetrated in Imlil last December with the aim to show the world that Morocco is a moderate country, open to other religions. On December 17, the mountainous locality of Imlil was shaken by a terrible tragedy: Two Scandinavian tourists, Louisa Jespêrsen fom Denmark and Maren Ueland from Norway, were savagely murdered by four individuals. Three months after this tragedy, a group of more than 110 Danish tourists is currently visiting the region, reports local Al Ahdath Al Maghribia daily in its Tuesday issue. Few days after the murder, 14 suspects were arrested, including four suspected of having taken part in the assassination of the two Scandinavian tourists. Nine other individuals were arrested in several cities in Morocco for alleged links to the murderers.
