The Police would come, Roy added, but " he always had The Curtains closed and never opened the door".

" They had so many chances to kick him out. This is social housing, he should have been evicted a long time ago, " He Said .

The Email - Sent by the Dutch public prosecution service to the teaching hospital where Fouad L studied - described his previous " worrying behaviour" including him found " half-naked in The Garden on a pile of leaves".

In The Message , prosecutors suggested his behaviour could affect whether The Hospital would grant him a medical diploma.

The suspected gunman posted the Email in a web forum himself and complained about teachers " sabotaging" him.

He described himself as an alcoholic and said he had been fired because he was unable to finish his Medical Degree .

Prosecutors have confirmed the authenticity of the Email , Dutch public broadcaster NOS reports.

During a search of his phone at The Time of The Animal cruelty investigation, prosecutors also found pictures of people being stabbed as well as right-wing extremist images.

Fouad L set fire to the residential building after shooting The Woman and Her Daughter , police said. Emergency services rushed The Daughter , 14, to a hospital where she later died from her injuries.

Bouquets of roses and sunflowers have been attached to The Black screen placed by police around the Crime Scene .
