Danish student Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, and 28-year-old Norwegian Maren Ueland were beheaded last December at an isolated site in the High Atlas mountains.
A Spanish-Swiss convert to Islam is among the suspects due to face justice in the city near Rabat, with his lawyer saying he will demand a postponement to "better prepare the defence". After the bodies were discovered, the Moroccan authorities were initially cautious, referring to a "criminal act" and wounds to the victims' necks.
Will be interesting to see what punishment is applied. Absolutely horrific butchering of young women.
