The public prosecutor's office has not ruled out a terrorist motive in the deadly stabbings in Solingen, senior public prosecutor
Markus Caspers said at a press conference in Wuppertal.
"We have not yet been able to identify a motive, but based on the overall circumstances, we assume that the initial suspicion of a terrorist-motivated offence cannot be ruled out," he said.
The find comes after three people were killed in the
attack late on Friday night during a town festival. Eight people were injured, five of them seriously.
The perpetrator remains at large and the
police are investigating, with searches being carried out at several locations.
