The 26-year-old suspect in the stabbing rampage in Solingen, western Germany, which left three dead and eight injured, has confessed to the crime, authorities announced early Sunday.
The suspect’s involvement is under intensive investigation, according to a joint statement from Duesseldorf police and federal prosecutors.
The attack took place on Friday evening during a festival marking the city’s 650-year history. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the assault.
Reports from Der Spiegel, citing unnamed security sources, indicate that the suspect, identified as Syrian, was found with bloodied clothes. Police have not yet confirmed these details.
