BERLIN, Germany — A knife attacker killed a two-year-old child and a man on Wednesday in a public park in Germany, where police arrested an Afghan man as the main suspect.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned the 'unbelievable act of terror' on a play school group that left three more people wounded, and demanded to know why the failed asylum-seeker had been able to stay in the country.The latest in a series of deadly knife attacks in Germany threatened to fire a new debate over immigration ahead of a general election on February 23.
Investigations were ongoing into the motive behind the attack, although initial information pointed 'very strongly in the direction of his obvious mental illness'.A search of the suspect's accommodation at an asylum centre had not produced 'any evidence of a radical Islamist attitude', with investigators instead finding psychiatric medication.
