After the attack on two schoolgirls in Illerkirchberg, the investigators questioned the 27-year-old suspect. However, he did not provide any information on the matter, said a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office. The man was still in the hospital with serious injuries under police guard and underwent hours of surgery.
A police spokesman had previously said he may have injured himself with the knife. The public prosecutor's office is currently examining whether they have applied for an arrest warrant or whether there are indications of reduced or excluded criminal responsibility, which would possibly result in placement in a psychiatric clinic. But first a short report is needed, said the spokesman.
According to previous knowledge, the man from Eritrea had probably attacked two schoolgirls on the street with a knife on Monday. A 14-year-old had to be resuscitated at the scene before being taken to a clinic. She died there hours later.
To his knowledge, the second girl who was attacked spent the night in the hospital and was medically cared for, the spokesman said. The 13-year-old was injured so badly that in her case there may also be suspicion of attempted murder. Your mental state is difficult to assess, there was an offer of emergency pastoral care.
