While the alleged perpetrator, a 37-year-old man from Denmark, is still in custody, more and more details about his victims are gradually coming to light. As t-online explains, citing Norwegian reports, the woman killed from Germany is said to be a 52-year-old. They come from northern Germany.
According to the police, the attacker’s motive still seems unclear. After the interrogation, it was conceivable for investigators that the man was mentally ill. “Our hypothesis is that the background is a disease,” said Police Inspector Thomas
Omholt at a press conference on Friday. For this reason, the attacker has not been accused of a terrorist act, but of fivefold murder. The 37-year-old had admitted the act shortly after the attack. As the police further explained, the alleged perpetrator is not in prison due to his health, but in a closed medical facility.
