The women, from Denmark and Norway respectively, made their way from the Moroccan capital to a plateau up in the mountains and set up a tent there, which suspected criminals reportedly kept on the hook for quite a while.
The two women, who were training to be tourist guides, 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager from Denmark and Maren Ueland, a 28-year-old Norwegian, were knifed and decapitated while on a hiking tour in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
