Days after the knife attack with a total of two dead, the mourning continues in Aschaffenburg. In the afternoon, numerous people gathered again in the park where a man was stabbed next to the small child on Wednesday. The sympathy is still great, said a police spokesman. Flowers were laid and candles were put up.
The central funeral service is planned for this Sunday. In addition to Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) is also expected.
The suspect is a refugee from Afghanistan who is known to the police. According to authorities, the 28-year-old man should have been deported some time ago. The terrible act recently led to accusations between Bavaria and the federal government and to a further intensification of the immigration debate.
