A jury has found a French-born Isis fighter guilty of murdering four people at the Brussels Jewish museum five years ago.

Mehdi Nemmouche, 33, used both a Kalashnikov rifle and a handgun in the 84-second shooting spree captured on security cameras in May 2014.

Israeli tourists Miriam and Emmanuel Riva were shot in the head during the attack, while 26-year-old Belgian museum employee Alexandre Strens and 66-year-old French volunteer Dominique Sabrier also died.

The jury also found the gunman’s accomplice Nacer Bendrer guilty of murder.
