In the case of the bloody attack in a gym in Duisburg, Germany, there are indications that the suspected Syrian had terrorist motives. A spokesman for the Düsseldorf public prosecutor’s office announced that the first results of the investigation have come to light.
The authority therefore took over the investigation from the Duisburg public prosecutor’s office on Tuesday. According to information from broadcaster RTL West, photos and videos with an Islamic background were found on the suspect’s mobile phone. Special police units arrested the suspect on Sunday night after information from two acquaintances of the man in his apartment in Duisburg near the crime scene.
Four people were seriously injured in the attack a week ago. According to the police, a 21-year-old was still in life-threatening condition on Tuesday. The Duisburg public prosecutor’s office had previously stated that none of the interviewed victims knew the alleged perpetrator. Initially, investigators assumed that the attack was aimed at a specific person.
After the attack on Tuesday evening last week, a 26-year-old Syrian has been arrested for attempted murder. In the attack, he is said to have seriously injured four people with a knife. The suspect had not yet responded to the accusations, the Duisburg public prosecutor’s office said. (oee/sda/dpa)
