The man, armed with a gun, was overpowered in a Brussels park between the royal palace and parliament late Thursday.
Prosecutors said he had admitted killing the 61-year-old female judge in revenge for his eviction from an apartment three years ago following a rent dispute. A 59-year-old clerk was also killed.
“The investigation will have to determine whether the man was mentally ill,” said prosecution spokesman Jean-Marc Meilleur. He declined to comment on the nationality of the man, who will be questioned further Friday.
It was the first time a judge had been killed in a Belgian court, the justice minister said Thursday.

Lindsay can”t quite understand why she makes headlines
New York, April 30 (ANI): American actress Lindsay Lohan has no idea why she is an easy ‘target’ for drama.
“I think there”s a misconception,” Lohan said.
The 23-year-old actress’ latest controversy arose when she posted a photo on Twitter where she has posed with a gun.
“I don”t know why I am such a target, but I think there”s a big misconception of who I am as a person,” the baffled actress told L.A.’s 102.7 KIIS-FM.
“It”s a very build-you-up-to-take-you-down industry, and I am working hard. I am doing a clothing line, I am starting a movie soon, I”m producing some shows,” Lohan said.
“I”ve just been working a lot, and it”s not a crime to go out and have fun with your friends. I do realize it”s silly of me to give people what they want – to see me out at night,” she added.
Infact, her father Michael Lohan was concerned about her life because of Lohan’s nightlife, reports The New York Daily Post.
Michael had barged into LiLo’s apartment along with police. He later said that he wanted to check if Lindsay and her little sister Ali were alright.
She also said that her father”s public comments take away “from all the work I am doing. It only builds negative press and that”s why it really hurts me.”
Aside from who the public thinks she is, Lohan insisted that she”s just “a nice person” who loves “entertaining people.” (ANI)
