(AFP) Two young Israeli women will Thursday face for the first time the alleged killer of their parents when they attend his trial for the Jewish museum attack in Brussels.
The daughters of murdered Israeli couple Miriam and Emmanuel Riva will be in the Brussels courtroom with Frenchman Mehdi Nemmouche, the accused gunman in the May 24, 2014 attack.
Only 15 and 16 at the time of the shootings, the pair travelled from Tel Aviv with an aunt and uncle to testify about the couple who were married 18 years when they died.
The experience will be “extremely difficult” for Ayalat and her older sister Shira, said one of their Belgian lawyers, David Ramet.
