| [IsraelTimes] Defense attorney says case against his two clients 'thin'; men deny accusations of helping killer evade cops Two men suspected of helping the gunman behind the deadly attacks in Copenhagen were incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! for 10 days Monday as Danes mourned the victims of a shooting spree that authorities said may have been inspired by last month's terror attacks in Gay Paree. They were accused of helping the gunman evade authorities and get rid of a weapon during the manhunt that ended early Sunday when the attacker was killed in a shootout with police, said Michael Juul Eriksen, the defense attorney for one of the two suspects. Prosecutors had asked a judge to place them in four weeks of solitary confinement and the relatively short period of detention suggests the case against the men is "thin," added Juul Eriksen's assistant, Anders Rohde. Rohde was speaking to news hounds after a four-hour custody hearing held behind closed doors for the men, who were not named. Denmark's red-and-white flag flew at half-staff from official buildings Monday across the capital. Mourners placed flowers and candles at the cultural center where documentary filmmaker Finn Noergaard, 55, was killed and at the synagogue where Dan Uzan, a 37-year-old security guard, was bumped off. There was also a smaller mound of flowers on the street at the location where the gunman was slain. The prime ministers of Denmark and Sweden were expected to join thousands of people at memorials in Copenhagen on Monday evening. |
