The Brabant killers, also known as the Nivelles Gang ((オランダ語:De Bende van Nijvel), (フランス語:Les Tueurs du Brabant)), are thought to be responsible for a series of violent attacks that mainly occurred in the province of Brabant, Belgium between 1982 and 1985, in which 28 people died and 40 were injured. It became the country's most notorious unsolved crime spree. The gang's trademark was disproportionate and gratuitous violence in crimes for relatively petty rewards, and insouciance about police response. There have been many speculative theories about the case. Although the perpetrators may have been a particularly psychopathic group of criminals without any ulterior motive, a recently revived line of enquiry followed up assertions that a politically extreme paramilitary group were sent on an undercover reconnaissance exercise that involved checking on the security of some of the supermarkets targeted in the raids. According to various witnesses, the gang was composed of three recurring actual participants on the raids, assisted by a number of others who supplied logistical support and gathered information on targeted businesses. The three most active robbers were commonly called: * the ''Giant'' a tall man who may have been the leader * the ''Killer'' who shot most of the gang's victims * the ''Old Man'' who mainly acted as driver. The identity and the whereabouts of the killers remain unknown, although one is thought to have been fatally wounded in the last raid. Failure to catch the gang was a major source of the dissatisfaction that led to reform of Belgian police. == Overview of crimes attributed to the gang == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brabant killers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
