The suspect in the Christmas market car attack in Magdeburg has been charged with five counts of homicide, along with multiple cases of attempted homicide and dangerous bodily harm. This decision came after a late-night court hearing where the district court approved the prosecutor's appeal for pre-trial detention. The arrest followed swiftly after the attack on Friday evening, which resulted in approximately 200 injuries, some severe.
Victims of the attack, which occurred at a Christmas market, included a 9-year-old boy and four women aged between 45 and 75. In keeping with German privacy laws, the authorities refrained from disclosing their identities. A memorial service was held at the cathedral, attended by prominent German leaders, offering an opportunity for the community to grieve collectively and remember those lost.
