Casablanca- According to Moroccan newspaper Annass, the decomposed corpses of two Jewish sisters were recently found in their house in Beni Mellal (160 miles south of Rabat), Morocco.

According to the same source, it is thanks to a neighbor of the two Moroccan sisters, aged 63 and 50, that their bodies were finally discovered. Not having heard from his two neighbors for quite some time, the neighbor alerted the police after he started smelling a bad odor coming from their house.

Police immediately showed up at the two sisters’ house accompanied by civil protection agents. They had to break into the house because it was locked from the inside.

Surprisingly, there were no apparent signs of violence either inside the house or on the two sisters’ corpses, lying on their beds. By the level of decomposition their bodies had reached, the police inferred that the two sisters must have died at least three months ago.

Police learned that the sisters’ valuable belongings which were hidden somewhere specific in their house, were not stolen, and that their corpses did not show any sign of violence.Police then concluded that they must have died because of food poisoning, especially because plates were found adjacent to their beds.

The sad discovery of the two sisters’ dead bodies shocked the entire neighborhood. The Police have launched a more in-depth investigation to determine the real cause of their death.
