Two days after the attack on a demonstration in Munich, a two-year-old child and its mother have died from their severe injuries. This was reported by the Bavarian State Criminal Police, according to the Focus. A 24-year-old Afghan man intentionally drove his car into the end of the procession on Thursday.
The number of injured now stands at at least 39, according to consistent reports from the Federal Prosecutor’s Office and the police. More victims have reportedly come forward since Friday morning, after a period of confusion over the number of casualties, with a previous report of 36 injured and a charge of 39 attempted murders.
A neighbor of the Munich attacker has revealed further details about the Afghan man to the tz. “I knew him, he was always nice” the woman said. But: In the days before the attack, he had changed. The woman continued, “A friend of mine who lives next to him told me that he often shouted loudly in his apartment in the days leading up to the act – and that he wept heavily.”
According to Bild, the Islamist in police questioning said that Allah had ordered him to carry out the attack and that he “wanted to send everyone to paradise.” The 24-year-old Afghan man allegedly said this in the police interrogation. The police subsequently had to break off the questioning, it was reported, as the 24-year-old became “more agitated and louder” in the course of the questioning.
