Belgian kindergarten murder trial begins


GHENT, Belgium (Reuters) - A Belgian court set out on Friday to judge the sanity of a man who admitted to killing two babies and a child minder and wounding many others at a day-care centre.

In January 2009, Kim De Gelder, then 20 years old, launched his attacks at the Fabeltjesland -- Fairytale Land -- creche in Dendermonde, 30 km (20 miles) west of Brussels, slashing at victims with a knife, killing a six- and nine-month-old child and a woman child minder.
