The accused was deemed harmless by a prison psychiatrist before being released from custody where he was being held because of an earlier knife attack.
Three months after the deadly knife rampage in Brokstedt that saw two young people murdered and five others injured, public prosecutors in Germany have brought forth charges against the perpetrator, Ibrahim. A., a 34-year-old Palestinian.
Ibrahim. A., who previously compared himself to Anis Amri—an Islamist terrorist who in 2016 killed 13 people and injured 67 after plowing through a Christmas market on Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz with his vehicle—on Thursday, April 27th, was formally charged by the Itzehoe public prosecutor’s office with two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder, Der Spiegel reports.
