Fouad L, 32, burst into home and killed 39-year-old Marlous and her daughter Police investigating whether this attack was in revenge for animal abuse case. The mother and her 14-year-old daughter who were shot dead when a gunman stormed their home in Rotterdam and opened fire were killed because the victim had reported him for torturing his rabbit, it has been claimed. Suspected gunman Fouad L, 32, burst into the family’s home in the city on Thursday and sprayed bullets at his 39-year-old neighbour, named locally as Marlous, and her 14-year-old daughter, killing them both. Fouad L, a medical student at the Erasmus university hospital, then set fire to their home before he continued his rampage to the medical centre in the city where he shot dead 43-year-old professor Jurgen Damen and launched Molotov cocktails at screaming staff and patients. Friends and neighbours of Marlous have claimed the mother-of-two was targeted by Fouad because she had reported him several times to the police for abusing a rabbit and later a puppy. The suspect was convicted in 2021 for torturing the rabbit. (…) Elite police stormed the hospital before they arrested the suspect. It has since emerged that Fouad L. appeared to be an avid 4chan user who spoke about his deeply troubled past which included a conviction for torturing his rabbit in 2021 while drunk according to Dutch media. When police responded to the report of animal abuse in 2021, they found Fouad L lying half-naked on a pile of leaves in his garden and laughing maniacally. Officers also found two crossbows in his home, which prosecutors described as ‘unhygienic’, ‘dirty’ and covered in ‘animal faeces’. (…) The prosecutors had also told the university they had examined the 32-year-old’s phone and found images of people being stabbed, along with far-Right propaganda including Nazi propaganda. Hospital chairman Stefan Sleijfer said Fouad L had passed all of the tests required to become a doctor but that the hospital had ordered a psychiatric exam after receiving the email from prosecutors. The process of setting up a psychological assessment was ongoing, so the student had not yet received the medical diploma enabling him to practise medicine at the time of the rampage.
