Moroccan Wife-Killer Gets Life Imprisonment In England

LONDON, March 14 (AFP) - A Moroccan man was sentenced to life imprisonment on Tuesday after being found guilty of killing his British wife, their 16-month-old daughter and his parents-in-law.

Ibrahaim Aderdour, 42, was outraged in 1995 when his wife Sophie, 31, demanded a divorce.

The couple fought constantly about the upbringing of their infant daughter Amina, with Aderdour insisting that she be brought up as a Muslim.

In October 1995 he killed the mother, her parents and his daughter with a knife in a flat in north London.

Despite a massive manhunt carried out with the help of Interpol, Aderdour managed to flee to France, Spain and the Netherlands, where he was finally arrested in December 1998.

Pronouncing the life sentence at the Old Bailey, judge Michael Hyam told Adedour that he "committed the gravest possible crimes.”
