The ‘Crazy Brabant Killers’ Went On A Crime Spree, Then Seemingly Disappeared

Throughout the early 1980s, a series of exceptionally violent raids terrorized the Belgian province of Brabant. The perpetrators, a group who became known as the Brabant Killers, executed their attacks with ruthless efficiency, often murdering bystanders, including children, for trivial amounts of money or goods from targeted supermarkets. Their crime spree was marked by the use of professional-grade weaponry and what appeared to be tactical precision, leading to the deaths of 28 people. Then, following a final bloody assault in November 1985, the gang abruptly vanished. Despite one of Belgium's largest-ever investigations and numerous theories, the identities of the killers and the motives behind their three-year reign of terror have never been discovered.
