Suspect in fatal German knife attack sent to psychiatric hospital
2021-07-21
No surprise — he’d been getting psychiatric treatment on the German dime before the attack. Quite probably at some point it will be realized that he’d wanted to attack the natives in the name of Allah for some time, but it was only thanks to Western medicine that he was able to overcome his particular brand of disorganized craziness enough to act on it. But in the meantime the locked wards of Germany will house an increasing percentage of Muslim nutters, until they come to look like German prisons.
[IsraelTimes] 24-year-old Somali man reportedly shouted ’holy shit! Allahu akbar’ during attack last month that left three women dead.

last month has been sent to a psychiatric hospital, after experts determined that it may not be possible to hold him criminally responsible for his actions, Sherlocks said on Tuesday.

The June 25 assault in and outside a store in the Bavarian city left three women dead and another five people seriously injured. The suspect, a 24-year-old Somali man, was shot in the leg by police and arrested after people surrounded him and tried to hold him at bay with chairs and sticks.

Investigators said after the attack that an Islamic Death Eater motivation appeared likely, since witnesses reported that the man twice shouted "holy shit! Allahu akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great," and he also referred to "jihad" after his arrest.

However,

Bavaria’s state criminal police office and Munich prosecutors said on Tuesday that after evaluating his cellphones, they found no propaganda or other Death Eater material, and nothing that pointed to anyone else having been involved in or known about the attack.

Experts on deradicalization and Islam are still evaluating "whether and to what extent religious convictions of the suspect might have played a role" in the attack, the Sherlocks said in a statement.

immediately after the attack, but a local court last week ordered him provisionally moved to a psychiatric hospital, after an appraisal by experts raised doubt over whether he could be held criminally responsible. He was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. A final expert report "will take some time," Sherlocks said.

Prosecutors have said two other incidents earlier this year resulted in the suspect being sent briefly to a psychiatric hospital.
