By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Comores Infos
Fahami Moustoifa, sentenced to death for the murder of Naïcha M’Madi in Comoros, has died at El Maarouf Hospital, a week after the death in detention of Athoumane Abdourahmane, sentenced to 25 years in the same case. The exact circumstances of both deaths remain to be established, according to Comores Infos.
Fahami Moustoifa, sentenced to death in Comoros for the murder of Naïcha M’Madi, died after being evacuated to El Maarouf Hospital, where he had been admitted in critical condition, reports Comores Infos.
His death comes a week after that of Athoumane Abdourahmane, sentenced to 25 years in prison in the same case and who died at the Military Health Centre, according to Comores Infos. The two men convicted in the case have now both died.
Fahami Moustoifa’s death comes after he was sentenced to death as the main perpetrator of Naïcha M’Madi’s murder. The death of Athoumane Abdourahmane had been announced a week earlier, after the possibility of a heart attack was raised without official confirmation, according to Comores Infos.
The new death comes in the wake of the case that led, on 15 October, to the conviction of Fahami Moustoifa to death. It follows the conviction, on the same day, of Fahami Moustoifa to death and Athoumane Abdourahmane to 25 years in prison in the murder case of Naïcha M’Madi.
