He is suspected of being a member of the terrorist group IS – and of having committed the murders in Solingen. He must now appear before an investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice.
The suspect in the Solingen knife attack is in Karlsruhe to be brought before an investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice (BGH). The judge must decide whether the man will be remanded in custody on charges including possible membership of the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) and murder.
The suspect was flown to Karlsruhe by helicopter. Two heavily armed police officers in special equipment brought the barefoot man to a convoy of vehicles. One of the officers pushed the head of the suspect, who was also handcuffed at the feet, down. In this crouched position, the man barely took a step himself; the police carried him to the vehicles. It was also visible that he was wearing a white glove on his left hand. The reason for this was initially unclear.
Because of the suspected connection to terrorism, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office has taken over the investigation against the 26-year-old Syrian. The highest German prosecution authority is applying for arrest warrants from the investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice. The suspect is accused of killing three people and injuring several others in a knife attack in Solingen on Friday.
