Escaped Rotterdam assassin suspect placed on national wanted list

Double shooting suspect Elias Adahchour, who escaped police custody during a hospital visit in Rotterdam on January 18th, was placed on the national wanted list on Tuesday, ANP reports.

The national wanted list consists of the most wanted suspects and convicts in the Netherlands. It lists their full names as well as a recognizable photo.

The police received dozens of tips about the fugitive, and investigated each one. But so far he is still at large.

Adahchour is considered armed and dangerous, unpredictable and violent, according to the police. He is the main suspect in two shootings in Rotterdam last month. People were injured in both shootings.
