Belgian creche attacker appears in court.

THE 20-year-old man charged with knifing to death two babies and a carer in a Belgian nursery has no memory of the crime, according to his lawyer.

Kim De Gelder appeared before a judge yesterday in Dendermonde where the killings happened as police continued to try to piece together the events of last Friday during which he also injured ten infants and two carers in a local nursery.

Charged with three murders and 12 cases of attempted murder, he has not been co-operating with investigators but has spoken to his lawyer, Jaak Haentjens. He painted a picture for the court of a lonely, disturbed youth who had been hearing voices for some time.
