Two Swiss people are accused of being involved in the brutal double murder of the two Scandinavian students in Morocco. According to a survey, almost half of the Swiss population would now welcome a death sentence for the two Geneva.
If the Swiss population were to go, the two men would be punished with death. In a new survey of the market and opinion polling institute “Marketagent.com”, 40 percent said they would not vote for the death penalty, writes “Switzerland this weekend”. In total, 1000 people were interviewed between the ages of 14 and 65. 45 percent of men and 34 percent of women therefore voted for the death penalty.
As for the two students, 36 per cent of the respondents consider that terrorists in general should be executed. No surprising results, says emeritus German lawyer Franz Streng. The media coverage of serious crimes triggered “sympathy for the victims – and anger and retaliation against the perpetrators,” he told the newspaper.
Kevin Z. denies claims

30 years in prison
An alibi is also available from Kevin Z.’s wife Fatima: Her husband was in Switzerland at the time of crime. “If Kevin is guilty, why risk a return trip to Morocco after the attack?”, She tells French-speaking Swiss radio and television and shows pictures of her flight ticket.
