A Jewish Moroccan couple were killed last week by their gardener, who then buried their remains in various sites across Casablanca.

According to local news reports, Sam Tolédano and Vicky Chetrit were murdered by their employee, who was said to have perpetrated the killings in order to steal their money and possessions.

Police who visited the couple’s home after members of the Jewish community in Casablanca reported them as missing, used UV light to find traces of blood.

In a statement, police stressed that the motive of the crime was theft of jewellery, adding: “This case has no link whatsoever with any terrorist act.”
