Not politically motivated
– The police say that he answers questions, but they do not want to say anything about the answers they have given. What is known is that the tragedy caused by the 51-year-old is not politically motivated. He has no affiliation with any organizations and he should not have had any helpers, says the German journalist Per Hinrichs in Die Welt, to VG.
– It seems like it’s just a terrible tragic event. The police have not yet decided whether to imprison the man, or leave him for psychiatric treatment.
The mayor of Trier, Wolfram Leibe, has stated that there are many indications that the 51-year-old perpetrator is struggling with mental problems.
The German press reports that the 51-year-old is a German citizen and resident in Trier.
He must be an unemployed electrician. The car he drove zigzagging through the pedestrian street with, a Land Rover, he is said to have borrowed from a friend.
