Suspected gunman in deadly Rotterdam shooting 'tortured rabbit and had Nazi material on phone'
Dutch media claim suspect’s neighbour had reported him for animal crueltyhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/rotterdam-shooting-gunman-victims-fouad-b2420865.html
A medical student suspected of killing three people on a shooting rampage in Rotterdam previously tortured animals and had Nazi material on his phone, it has been claimed.
The 32-year-old suspect, named as Fouad L, opened fire on his neighbour’s home on Friday, killing a 14-year-old girl and her mother. He then stormed the Erasmus Medical Center, where he was a student, and shot dead a university lecturer. Dutch media claim Fouad L’s neighbour had reported him for animal cruelty and the university had dropped his diploma.
Prosecutors confirmed on Friday that they were previously concerned enough about his behaviour that they had sent a letter to his school, warning about his “psychotic behaviour” over his treatment of animals.
Police also discovered Nazi-related and right-wing material as well as images of people being stabbed on the phone of the suspect two years ago, according to local media.
