Presumed killer of Spanish reporter arrested

The police arrested Thursday a young Moroccan, presumed killer of the Spanish reporter, Jos? Luis Percebal, found last Tuesday afternoon dead in his house in downtown Rabat.

According to police sources, the reconstruction of the crime is to take place this Friday.

Percebal, who has been working in Rabat since 1991 as a correspondent of Spanish radio station "Cadena Cope," was found dead by a Spanish colleague. He was stabbed in the back, the police said, adding the killer apparently knew the victim as his door was not forced open and his German Shepherd did not react.

The reporter, a single man, was living in a villa in downtown Rabat.
