LIEGE, Belgium — Belgian authorities sought to deflect questions on Wednesday, May 30, over the furlough of a convicted criminal, known to have been radicalized in jail, who killed three people in the Belgian city of Liege.
Just hours after his release, the man named by Belgian media as Benjamin Herman killed two policewomen and a bystander on Tuesday, May 29, before being gunned down in what officials say was a terrorist attack. Police also suspect the 36-year-old of the murder of a former associate found dead at his home.
