Sick images of two Scandinavian women who were murdered in Morocco have been posted to a Facebook page belonging to the mother of one of the victims, according to reports.

The graphic images purportedly show the severed and partially severed head of the young backpackers, 28-year-old Maren Ueland of Norway and 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen of Denmark the Daily Mirror reported.

Irene Ueland’s Facebook page was spammed with hundreds of horrible images of her daughter’s slit throat and Jespersen’s severed head, news.com. au reported.

Some of the posts appeared to be bizarre expressions of condolences from local Moroccans calling for death to the killers, according to the website.

The Mirror reported that it was not clear if investigators or the suspected murderers took the images. They have since been removed.

Jespersen’s friends urged social media users not to watch the video showing her killing. Norway police said the video is likely authentic

A plane carrying the bodies of Ueland and Jespersen took off Friday from Casablanca for Denmark.

Their bodies were found Monday. They had traveled to Morocco on a hiking trip. A total of 13 men have been detained in connection with the killings.

Authorities in Morocco consider the killings a terrorist act.

Police seized another video in which four of the murder suspects appear to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Are the pictures above of the alleged killers?

I don't like some of today's tech.

So far on Facebook Live I've seen a dead girl after an assault, a black guy drive up to a random older black guy on the street and shoot him dead point blank, and a young girl in Georgia (?) commit suicide by hanging herself from a tree.

That must have been BRUTAL for the family to see those posts. There has to be structure and limits to some of our 'freedoms.'

i don't do the facebook or the instachat or snapagram :hand:

This Lookatme society of ours needs a little shaking up :)

Moroccan authorities announced Wednesday that more suspects were arrested in connection with the Islamic State-inspired murders of two Scandinavian hikers in the High Atlas Mountains, bringing the total number to 19.

A Moroccan government spokesman says 10 new suspects were arrested over the last two days for their links with the alleged killers of 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen of Denmark and 28-year-old Maren Ueland of Norway.

The two women were found dead on Dec. 17 in their camping tent in a remote area of the Atlas Mountains. The tourists were stabbed multiple times before the murderers slit their throats and decapitated them.

The alleged ringleader of the horrific murders, Abdessamad Ejjoud, 25, was arrested Tuesday. Abdelhak Khiam, the head of the country's central office for judicial investigation, told Agence France-Presse that Ejjoud had “formed a kind of cell that discussed how to carry out a terrorist act inside the kingdom … targeting the security services or foreign tourists.”

Among the 19 arrested, Khaim said three had terrorism-related criminal records.

Ejjoud was believed to have carried out the murders along with 33-year-old Abderrahim Khayali, 27-year-old Younes Ouaziyad and 33-year-old Rachid Afatti.

Investigators have said the four men shot a video the week before the murders in which they pledged allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. However, Khiam told AFP the four had not had contact with ISIS leaders "in conflict zones, whether in Syria, Iraq or Libya."

Boubker Sabik, a spokesman for the Moroccan security and domestic intelligence services, said while the suspects were seen in a video before the bodies were found pledging allegiance to ISIS, those suspects were "lone wolves."

“The crime was not coordinated with Islamic State,” Sabik said. “Lone wolves do not need permission from their leader."

Morocco is generally considered safe for tourists but has been rooting out Islamic extremists for years.
