A report by BBC, revealed that Ahmed Abdou, the man who had attacked the president of Comoros on Friday, during the funeral for a well-known religious leader, in Salimani Itsandra, a town just north of the capital Moroni, has been found lifeless in his prison cell.
The authorities made the revelation after they discovered his body on the floor of the cell on Saturday morning.
The assailant was placed in a jail to calm down following his detention, according to national prosecutor Ali Mohamed Djounaid.
"A doctor declared him dead. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of his death," Mr Djounaid revealed during a press conference.
On the other hand, the president seemed to be "doing well," according to Ali Mohamed. He is safe and does not have any health issues. "The president is doing well.
