I don't see it mentioned in this article, but the first account I read about this attack mentioned that the attacker's face was "painted", without specifying how.
The first rumours of the sick sob that did this mentioned a clown makeup and a psychiatric history.
Afterwards, it was confirmed that there was no makeup and he was not a psychiatric patient, nor did he have a criminal record.
There was no way for the people in that nursery to have avoided this, apart from not opening doors for anyone who does not belong there. Unfortunately, this is most likely going to be the new rule for all nurseries, only creating an even more closed society.
Granted, if you're not a parent, you don't need to be in a creche.
The police has no motive, no confession and absolutely no cooperation from the guy. Apart from the fact that he's a 20 year old living about 20 kilometers away, there's no info at this point.
Just that two babies and one adult trying to stop the guy are dead.
Belgium's got quite a bad rep I'm afraid, the Times ran an article with the title: "Not Belgium again". They did state that this kind of thing happens all over the world, but they do have a point. Not a year goes by without some child murders, either pedophiles like Dutroux, Fourniret (French but he was active in Belgium too) or Ait El-Oud or major family tragedies like the mother last year who killed her five kids.
