Overview

  • The Federal Prosecutor charged Afghan national Farhad N. with two counts of murder and 44 counts of attempted murder over the February 13 attack.
  • Prosecutors also list dangerous bodily harm and a serious interference in road traffic among the offenses.
  • A 37-year-old woman and her two-year-old daughter died of their injuries, while 44 others suffered life-threatening or severe wounds.
  • The indictment cites an exaggerated religious motivation; investigators say he shouted "Allahu Akbar" and admitted driving deliberately into the crowd.
  • Authorities report no evidence of links to Islamic State or other networks, and the suspect remains in pretrial detention as the court weighs admitting the case.
