The injured victims of a stabbing rampage that killed three people at a daycare outside of Brussels were in stable condition in hospital, officials said Friday evening.

A man with a black-and white-painted face entered a daycare outside Brussels Friday morning and stabbed to death two children and an adult, police said.

Police said the suspect, identified only as a 20-year-old man, rode a bicycle to the Fabeltjesland daycare in the small town of Dendermonde in western Belgium around 10 a.m. local time.

Prosecutor Christian Du Four said the man found the daycare unlocked and went inside after he arrived on his bike.

"After he entered he started slashing at everyone he ran into … the daycare workers, the children," Du Four told a news conference.

Police said the suspect entered a room in the daycare where babies were sleeping and stabbed them with a 20-centimetre knife as staff members tried to stop him.

He then moved to a second room and stabbed several more infants, police said.

UPDATE:


Belgian admits to daycare killings, denies link to separate homicide

A young man who killed two babies and a nursing attendant in a stabbing rampage at a Belgian daycare has been linked to the slashing death of a grandmother.

Kim De Gelder, 20, is charged with killing a six-month-old boy, a nine-month-old girl and a 54-year-old caregiver last Friday at Fairyland nursery in the town of Dendermonde.

His lawyer Jaak Haentjens said De Gelder admits to the nursery killings, but denies involvement in the death of a 73-year-old grandmother on a remote farm the previous week.

De Gelder's motive for the nursery attack is unknown, Haentjens said.
