“Special case” – Knife attacker from Mannheim is still in a coma

Date:

After the fatal attack, 25-year-old Afghan Sulaiman A. is still in a coma and cannot be interviewed. He is probably a radicalized individual perpetrator.

Federal Attorney General Jens Rommel explained during his office’s annual press conference on Tuesday that it was a “special case,” an “individual case” that differs from other Islamist-influenced cases.

The Federal Public Prosecution Service has so far seen no evidence of the man’s jihadist involvement. However, he still cannot be questioned due to his ill health, police sources said on Wednesday.

The federal prosecutor’s office is tracking down a religious motive
At the end of May, the Afghan wounded five participants in a meeting of the anti-Islam movement Pax Europa (BPE) and a police officer with a knife on Mannheim’s market square. Officer Rouven Laur, 29, later died from his injuries. Another officer shot the attacker.

He subsequently underwent surgery and was initially unable to be interviewed. A few days after the crime, the federal prosecutor’s office took over the investigation. It is believed that the act was religiously motivated. The suspect resorted to mass violence, probably to avoid criticism of Islam, Rommel said.
