Tribute to Mohammed, killed by his neighbor in Béziers

A gathering in tribute to Mohammed Idrissi, 61, of Moroccan origin, killed with a stab to the throat by his 22-year-old neighbor, is being organized this Sunday, December 8 in Béziers. The procession will leave the sub-prefecture at 2 p.m.

Driss Bouhaja, president of the Franco-Moroccan Friendship Association of Béziers, knew the victim and part of his family. “We say it a lot, but it’s not an exaggeration, Mohammed was a brave man,” he told Midi Libre, his voice tight. A discreet worker and renowned vine pruner, Mohammed Idrissi was originally from Taourirt, Morocco, and had lived in France for 25 years. He alternated stays in France for work and returns to Morocco to see his family. “He was like his hometown, calm, warm…” remembers Driss Bouhaja.
