Morocco-Belgium, Local, 5/8/2002

A Belgian man killed his Moroccan neighbors, a Moroccan couple, and injured two of their children in the locality of Scharbeek, in Brussels.

The murderer was later on found dead in his flat located in the second floor of the building.

According to first information available, the 82 year old man is notorious in the neighborhood for his racism and is reportedly a supporter of the Belgian extreme rightist party "Vlaams Block." He had been sentenced two years ago to a six-month prison sentence for aggressing a youngster who lost an eye.

The man went on a shooting rampage, killing the couple and injuring two of their four kids before setting ablaze the Moroccan family's flat with the couple's four kids in. He then opened fire at the policemen and the fire fighters who came to the rescue.

When the fire fighters put out the fire, they found the couple's corpses in the building 1st floor and the murderer's body in his apartment in the 2nd floor.
