Update on the attack in Liege:

Belgian police have found the body of a woman at the home of the gunman who killed four people and injured 122 in an attack in the city of Lige.

Lige prosecutor Daniele Reynders said the body of a woman in her 40s had been discovered during a search of Nordine Amrani’s property.

Reynders said Amrani, 33, died in Tuesday’s attack in an apparent suicide, and was found with a number of grenades still on him.

“What killed him was a shot in the middle of his forehead,” she said.

Two teenage boys aged 15 and 17, and a 75-year-old woman also died in the attack, while an 18-month-old toddler died on Tuesday evening in hospital, Lige police said. Several people remain in intensive care.

Beyond the dead and injured, Reynders said some 40 people had to be treated for psychological trauma.

It remains unclear what motivated the attack. Reynders said that after searches of Amrani’s house terrorism could be excluded as a driving force.

Amrani, who had spent time in jail for offences involving guns and drugs, had been called in for questioning by police in a sexual abuse case.
