Did Saad Lamjarred commit suicide in Jail?

ALBAWABA -Rumors spread recently claiming that convicted rapist Saad Lamjarred committed suicide in jail. 

Saad Lamjarred is serving a six-year prison term for raping a French girl. Rumors are spreading on social media that the once-famed Moroccan singer had reportedly committed suicide in his prison cell in France, where he is being held. 

Some news sites said that Lamjarred's lawyer noted that his client had attempted to commit suicide because of a severe depression after a French court found him guilty of rape and sentenced him to jail. 

But many websites denied the rumor, pointing to disinformation to tarnish the singer's image further.

This is not the first time such rumors about the singer spread. In 2016, when Lamjarred was also imprisoned for rape in a another case, news sites shared that his then-lawyer, Jean-Marc Fedida allegedly announced that Lamjarred attempted suicide in Jail, and that French authorities sought to transfer him to a psychiatric hospital.

Lamjarred and his family did not respond to the latest rumor.
