In the city of Fez in the north-west of Morocco, a Jew named Binyamin Serrero, aged 74 , was murdered last night (Monday) after an unknown person banged with a metal hammer on his head. Harav Ferrero also served as the Gabbai of the shull.

According to reports, Serrero was critically wounded from the stroke, and died of his wounds on the way to receive medical treatment at the University Hospital named after the Second King Hassan. The murdered fled from the scene.
