The suspect, a 26-year-old Syrian man, turned himself in and admitted to the crime, indicating cooperation with police amid ongoing investigations into the Solingen stabbing rampage.
The attack, which took place during Solingen's 650th anniversary celebration, resulted in three fatalities and eight injuries, raising concerns about public safety and the background of the attacker.
Herbert Reul, the interior minister, expressed relief that the authorities had apprehended the true perpetrator after a day-long manhunt, emphasizing the challenges of identifying suspects in such situations.
Investigations revealed the suspect had a history of refugee status in Germany since December 2022, yet remained undetected by security forces prior to the attack.
