So far, the student has pleaded not guilty and challenged the measure of pre-trial detention. He is also being investigated by his girlfriend, a young woman from Morocco, whom investigators consider an accomplice because she allegedly knew about the murder.
The Moroccan El Bourkadi, the main suspect in the double murder case in Iasi, was brought to the country by the Romanian police. He was extradited from Italy, where he left immediately after another Moroccan and his Romanian friend were assassinated. Although he pleaded not guilty at all times, the Italians put into practice the European arrest warrant issued by the Romanian judiciary on behalf of the 20-year-old student.
„Today, an escort of the Romanian Police took over from Italy and brought to the country, a 20-year-old man, who was evading the execution of a pre-trial arrest warrant, issued against him, for committing the crime of aggravated murder“, Is the communiqué sent by the Romanian Police.
Tonight, the Moroccan will be arrested by the police.
Ahmed Sami El Bourkadi will be taken to court on Thursday at 1pm for challenging his pre-trial detention decision. The magistrates of the Court of Appeal will decide whether the individual will remain in custody or be released.
Through the Romanian lawyer, the 20-year-old boy claims that he is innocent.
„When he was in Italy, he contacted his relatives, an aunt from Canada, his family from Morocco, told them that he asked them to trust him, that he apologized for going through such a thing. The parents hope that things will be the way they really are. He was a child with exemplary behavior, from a good family of doctors and pharmacists, he did not create problems, he had good grades in school, he never created any problems and because of that no one thought that he would be could have been involved in such a thing“, The lawyer transmitted to the suspect.
His girlfriend, also from Morocco, is being investigated by investigators for favoring the perpetrator. Investigators say she learned of the murder, but did not report it to police and went with the suspect to Italy. From there, she would have returned alone to Romania, because then she was not in the circle of suspects.
The 20-year-old is a second year student at the Faculty of Medicine in Iași. He had high exam scores and was a good friend and classmate of the boy killed.
And Vanessa, the murdered young man’s girlfriend, who was also killed, wanted to become a nurse. At home, in the commune of Miroslava, the parents are devastated and mourn their daughter buried in the cemetery a few meters from the house.
„I’m waiting to see what happens. And I hope the killer or criminals are found and then the sentence and what’s next. I’m waiting for news, nobody called me, nobody told me anything, that’s all he told me that he will arrive in Romania this week. As for what happened there and how upset these kids were, I don’t think it was just one. But it will be found out! I hope he finds out!“, Confessed the father of the killed girl.
From the suspect’s apartment, the prosecutors recently picked up four bags of evidence, from clothes and shoes, to medical documents that could help in the criminal investigation. Police also found traces of blood on some of them.
„I probably met him in the yard, but I didn’t remember his face. There are a lot of tenants in the block, we are very dissatisfied with the way they behave, but that’s“Says a neighbor.
In the case of the two young men killed, forensic doctors found no traces of banned substances. The girl had not consumed any alcohol, and her boyfriend had a blood alcohol level of 0.24 mg of blood alcohol.
