Hamza, the man who had made threats in a hospital in Anderlecht, set himself on fire in the prison of Saint-Gilles

On Friday, Hamza reportedly went to the Sainte-Anne/Saint-Rémi hospital and shouted “Allahu Akbar”, then said he was going to die but would come back to “kill everyone”. Arrested, the suspect would have set fire to his mattress in the Saint-Gilles prison on Monday morning.

Taken to the Military Hospital of Neder-Over-Heembeek, he died of his injuries.
