The evil killer who killed 14 people when he ploughed into pedestrians in Barcelona’s famous Las Ramblas has been secretly buried in an unmarked grave in Morocco.

Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, was buried with his terrorist brother Houssaine in their native city of Mrirt at the request of their family.

Officials in Morocco are said to have approved the request but insisted the burial must take place without any publicity, and their bodies laid in unmarked graves.

The burial is understood to have taken place at night.

Their bodies were flown to Morocco from Spain on Tuesday before being immediately transferred to Mrirt, a town in Khenifra Province with a population of just over 35,000 people which is part of the Middle Atlas mountain range.
