A Moroccan court has sentenced to death two Dutch citizens over the accidental killing of a medical student in 2017, a lawyer for the victim's family said Saturday.
Two years ago, Edwin Gabriel Robles Martinez and Shardyone Girigorio Semerel allegedly opened fire on a cafe in the tourist hub of Marrakech.
They had apparently been aiming at the cafe's owner, who was involved in criminal activity, but instead killed the 29-year-old son of a Moroccan judge and wounded two other people, Dutch media reported.
