Dubai: A Moroccan man has reportedly been stabbed to death inside a mosque after performing Asr (Afternoon) prayer, local media reported.
The crime took place last week in Marrakesh, the third largest city in the Kingdom of Morocco.
According the Moroccan police, the victim was killed by a 47-year-old man over a civil dispute related to emptying a premises owned by the victim but was used by the suspect.
