Mahdia Prosecutor's Office Opens Investigation into Voluntary Homicide; Five Family Members of the Deceased Placed in Custody

The Prosecutor's Office of the Court of First Instance of Mahdia has opened a judicial investigation into voluntary homicide with premeditation. The investigating judge ordered the placement of five suspected individuals in custody, according to a statement by the Court's spokesperson, Walid Chetorbi. Chetorbi specified, in a statement to Mosaïque FM, that the body of a person born in 1965 was found. The examination of the body by the Public Prosecutor and the investigating judge revealed that the deceased had a serious head wound, likely the cause of death.

Note: I translated "garde à vue" to "custody" as it is a more common term in English, although "garde à vue" is a specific French legal term that refers to a type of police custody. If you want to keep the original term, I can translate it to "placed in garde à vue" to maintain the technical accuracy. Let me know if you have any further requests.
