(Brussels Times) At the start of the trial of Mehdi Nemmouche, the man accused of carrying out an armed attack on the Jewish museum in Brussels in May 2014 in which four people died, the defence laid out its main five-point defence case.
They included the lack of circumstantial evidence of fingerprints on the door of the museum and the trigger of the handgun used, as well as the doubt surrounding whether the man seen on security footage was in fact Nemmouche.
Nobody mentioned the shoe-print. On the door of the museum, investigators discovered a partial print of the sole of a shoe, caused when the gunman used his foot to kick the door open — thus leaving no fingerprints.
