Belgium awaits post-mortem results on girls
A Belgian court today ruled that a suspect in the killing of two schoolgirls whose bodies were found hidden in a storm drain will remain in custody, despite protests from his lawyers who argued there was no evidence to link him to the crimes.
A convicted child rapist, Abdallah Aid Oud, 39, has been charged with the girls’ kidnapping and has been held by police since handing himself in on June 13. He denies any involvement in their disappearance almost three weeks ago.
