Suspect in Rotterdam shooting drama earlier abused a rabbit

Rotterdam: The 32-year-old Rotterdam resident arrested Thursday for the shooting in Rotterdam is a medical student who, in December 2021, was convicted of abusing his own rabbit. He received a sentence of 40 hours of community service. That is confirmed by several sources of De Telegraaf and from court documents.
The man, Fouad L., was arrested at that time on information from a neighbor lady. That is reportedly the complainant who now, almost two years later, together with her daughter, has been shot to death. The police will neither confirm nor deny it but are conducting the investigation in this direction.
The Public Prosecutor's Office will only say that the suspect is known to police. The man abused the animal under the influence of a liter of hard alcohol. He kicked the rabbit and laid a brick on the animal. A veterinarian was forced to euthanize the rabbit.
Fouad L. told the police judge that he came home in Deltshaven in August of that year and drank a bottle of spirits and beer. He then ended up in a psychosis. A neighbor lady saw how he mistreated the rabbit and called the police. The Rotterdam resident was also suspected of shooting a pigeon with a crossbow. Despite the testimony of a witness, the judge acquitted him of this.
The prosecutor demanded that the other rabbits be confiscated, but the judge ruled that this was not necessary. The 32-year-old man was previously convicted of other small offenses. L. is now suspected of involvement in two deadly shooting incidents in the port city. On Thursday, he allegedly shot a woman, her daughter, and a teacher to death and was apprehended after a manhunt.
