Belgium gunman 'had killed the day before'

The man who shot dead two police officers and a civilian in the Belgian city of Liège had killed someone the night before the attacks, the country's interior minister says.

Jan Jambon said the gunman, named as Benjamin Herman, had murdered a man - a former prisoner - he met while in jail.

Reports said the victim was Michael Wilmet, 30, a convicted drug dealer who was hit repeatedly with a hammer.
