(AFP) The mother of a victim of Belgium’s Jewish museum attack faced her son’s alleged killer for the first time on Friday, as the terror trial turned harrowing when the court was shown footage of the anti-Semitic murders.
The accused gunman, Mehdi Nemmouche, watched the silent security camera video of the May 2014 shooting spree intently and listened impassively to the testimony of Annie Adam, mother of victim Alexandre Strens.
“I live like a mother whose wings were cut,” Adam told the judges and 12-person jury.
Strens, a 26-year-old employee of the Jewish Museum of Belgium, became the fourth victim of the massacre when he died from a gunshot wound to the head two weeks after the attack.
