One week after the knife attack in a gym in Duisburg, investigators have indications of an Islamist motive of the suspect (26). This is the result of an analysis of the mobile phone of the Syrian national.
The Syrian national allegedly stabbed four men aged 21, 24 and 32 with a cutting and stabbing weapon in a gym in Duisburg’s Altstadt district on Tuesday evening last week. The younger man’s life is in danger. The investigators had initially spoken of a targeted attack. Now they are investigating whether the suspect might be mentally ill.
After the bloody deed, the identity of the perpetrator was unknown for days. It was only after the police published photos from surveillance cameras showing the suspect on Friday that the 26-year-old Syrian came into the focus of the investigators. Witnesses recognised the man and contacted the officers. The witnesses apparently came from the neighbourhood of the suspect. The suspect’s flat is located near the fitness studio.
On Sunday night, the man was arrested in his flat by special police forces. Two knives were found there, which could be possible weapons of the crime. The investigation continued.
