Solingen attack suspect transported to federal prosecutor's office
Police arrested the suspected attacker of a knife rampage in Solingen early on Sunday as the manhunt threatened to enter a second day. The 26-year-old man turned himself into the authorities and said he was responsible for the stabbings, officials said.
On Saturday police raided refugee housing in Solingen and arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of failing “to report an imminent crime” after two women said they had heard him and another person discussing the attack.
Thorsten Fleiss, of Düsseldorf police, confirmed that two men, aged 67 and 56, and a woman aged 56 were killed in the attack. He said another eight people were injured, four of them severely.
