Family drama in Liège: a Moroccan judged for the murder of his son

Mohammed Hassar, 70, appears before the Liège Assize Court for the murder of his son Bilal, 19, and the attempted murder of his other son, Faïssal, 29. The events took place at the family home in Liège, on August 28, 2019 for the murder of Bilal, and a few months earlier, on February 4, 2019, for the attack on Faïssal.

Born in Tangier (Morocco) in 1953, Mohammed Hassar moved to Liège in 1976. Father of seven children, he describes a family life marked by conflicts between his sons Faïssal and Bilal. According to him, Faissal sought to dominate Bilal, and both lacked respect for their parents. Frequent arguments poisoned the daily life of this Moroccan family.
