From bottom of article, translated:
The way the killings were carried out obviously raises a few extra questions.
Beheading has been a repeated method used by jihadist groups for more than 20 years.
One of the first cases was from Kashmir in India in 1995, where the Norwegian Hans Christian Ostrø was kidnapped and later found dead with his head cut off.
The Islamic group Al Faran assumed responsibility.
During the occupation of Iraq, several westerners were kidnapped and killed by cutting their throat.
These executions were also filmed and posted on the internet.
From 2013, the Islamic State conducted a series of executions in Syria and Iraq where the prisoners had their throat cut.
There have also been several cases in Europe where throats have been conducted in terrorist acts or actions with mentally disrupted people who have been inspired.
Marokkansk avis: – Maren og Louisa ble drept på «IS-måten» etter å ha blitt bestialsk voldtatt

From article, translated:
Maren Ueland and Louisa Vesterager Jespersen Mountain Trip in the Atlas Mountains ended with "bestial rape" - then their heads were separated from the bodies, according to the Moroccan newspaper Assabah.
"The women were subjected to the bestial killing of the" Daesh Way ", where their heads were divorced from the body after they were exposed to a racial assault," Assabah writes.
If it is true that the women are haunted in the "Daesh way", it can explain a possible link to extremism and terror.
At least, there is nothing that suggests robbery as a motive, according to Daily Mail:
A source reported that none of the victims’ property had been stolen and excluded robbery as a motive and said, «sexual assault may have been the motive for the crime.»
