The suspect in the Solingen knife attack has been taken to Karlsruhe to be brought before an investigating judge.
Germany’s Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe must decide whether the man will be remanded in custody on charges including membership of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group and murder.
Due to suspicions of terrorist motives, the corresponding authority, Germany’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, has taken over the investigation of the 26-year-old Syrian.
The man is accused of killing three people and injuring several others in a knife attack in the western-German city of Solingen on Friday evening.
