Social media took to Twitter to mourn the tragic death of Bouchouf, whose absence from his parent's house on the 7th of September had alerted the public of the increasing number of child kidnapping cases in the country.
According to the police, Bouchouf's body was buried near his family home in Tangier to the northwest of Morocco. Investigations have revealed that the 11-years old boy was tortured and raped prior to his death, which has ignited more anger on a national level as people have voiced out their worry that such crimes could continue to take place if authorities don't take serious action against criminals.
Not only was their beloved child kidnapped, brutally raped, but also slaughtered and deprived a life he deserved to live.
Now they have to live the rest of their lives knowing that his last moments were filled with terror, tears & agony! #الاعدام_لقاتل_عدنان— Aya Ghazalah (@AyaGhazalah) September 12, 2020

This pedophile should be punished SEVERELY and FIERCELY.#عدنان_بوشوف #الاعدام_لقاتل_عدنان pic.twitter.com/vjEbb3z4hF
Online commentators called on the government to sentence the perpetrator with the death penalty so other pedophiles think again before endangering kids' lives.
Some tweets also highlighted that officials should do everything possible to protect other Morccoan kids, who remain missing and try to bring them safely back to their homes.
Let's make this a movement... for Adnane, for his close ones, for all the victims that we did and didn't hear about on social media, for all the little angels gone too soon because of the cruelty and rutlessness of this world.#JusticePourAdnane #عدنان_بوشوف pic.twitter.com/v1Y721315v
