In a controversial incident, social media users reacted to the news of the death of a Moroccan doctor, the wife of a famous physician in the Moroccan capital of Rabat, who was suffering from cancer at the hands of a blind charlatan. Details of the victim's death were revealed by the Moroccan newspaper "Assabah" on Monday, after the husband filed a complaint against the accused who gave his wife harmful substances that led to her death. According to the same source, the perpetrator is accused of fraud and failing to provide assistance to a person in danger.
Investigations conducted by the relevant authorities confirmed that the accused practices sorcery rituals and provides therapeutic prescriptions to those who seek his services, leading to the doctor's death after he convinced her that her treatment was possible but for a prescription costing up to 30,000 dollars. The source further noted that the "charlatan" is currently enjoying temporary release due to his health conditions, with the first session of his trial set to take place next Thursday at the primary court in the capital, Rabat.
Regarding the uproar caused by the spread of the news on digital platforms, several activists condemned the doctor's resort to seeking treatment through "superstitions and witchcraft." Reacting to the incident, one activist on Facebook stated, "A surreal news that judges a whole educational system," while another wrote, "Both the husband and the charlatan should be tried." Among the strangest statements made by the accused before the investigating judge was his claim that the victim was cured, but her death was due to not following a proper diet. He also claimed that the victim's husband took her to specialized clinics and that he had not followed up on her treatment or known about her for five months. He admitted to borrowing a large amount from the victim, asserting that this money was not in exchange for treatment.
