Case Summary
In 2006, Fawziya, a Moroccan woman in her forties, was found dead in her home with signs of poisoning. After her husband's death, she began working as a 'sheikha' (female traditional singer/dancer), which caused disputes with her children and daughter’s husband. A man named Hamid, who lived with her for about six months during family conflicts, was suspected and later confessed to poisoning her to steal her gold and money. Hamid was sentenced to life imprisonment for premeditated murder. The investigation revealed family tensions, disputes over Fawziya's new profession, and financial motives behind the crime.
