Body found at home of Belgium gunman
POLICE have discovered the body of a woman at the home of the gunman who killed four people when he opened fire on Christmas shoppers in the Belgian city of Liege.The body was found today in a search of the home of 33-year-old Nordine Amrani, who is believed to have turned his revolver on himself after going on the rampage at midday yesterday. ``It was found in a shed which he used, notably for cannabis plantations,'' the prosecutor general in Liege, Cedric Visart de Bocarme, said on public radio RTBF. Amrani, known to have had at least 20 brushes with the law, was sentenced to almost five years in prison in 2008 for growing cannabis and illegal possession of arms. The woman was apparently killed before Amrani went to the central Saint Lambert square where he opened fire and threw grenades into the crowd, killing four people including a 17-month-old baby, the prosecutor said. The dead woman, aged 45, worked as a cleaner for a neighbour of Amrani, who had in the morning asked her into his home on the pretext of offering her work and then attacked her, the regional press group SudPresse said.
