BRUSSELS – The bodies of the five children killed by their mother last week have arrived in Agadir.

They were flown to Morocco last night accompanied by their father and some 20 family members and friends.

A small family ceremony was planned for 10 a.m. today, to be followed by a memorial service in the Great Mosque in Agadir, just before afternoon prayers.

The coffins will then be brought to the cemetery just outside of the town centre.

The story of the murdered children was front page news in Morocco over the past few days as well. The father’s family is a prominent one in the country.
