A woman has died from injuries sustained after a man drove his car into a German Christmas market last month, bringing the total death toll from the attack to six.
Prosecutors said the 52-year-old died in hospital two weeks after a car plowed into a crowded market in Magdeburg.
At least 299 people were injured in the attack on December 20, according to the latest figures from the Interior Ministry in Saxony-Anhalt.
Four other women, aged between 45 and 75, and a nine-year-old girl Andre Gleissner They were also killed.
Federal Commissioner for Victims Roland Weber told German media that up to 531 people may have been psychologically traumatized or suffered economic losses as a result of the attack.
Fifty-year-old Talib Al-Abdul Mohsen was arrested at the scene, but the motives of the suspected attacker remain unclear.
He has lived in Germany since 2006 and is described as a Saudi psychiatrist who lived about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Magdeburg, in the town of Bernburg.
Abdul Mohsen was granted asylum in 2016 and ran a website aimed at helping other former Muslims flee persecution in their Gulf homelands.
In numerous online posts, Abdul Mohsen has strongly expressed anti-Islamic views and support for far-right conspiracy narratives about the “Islamization” of Europe.
German Interior Minister Nancy Weiser said it was “clear that” the suspect holds “anti-Islamic” views.
She added: “The perpetrator does not belong to any previous classification. Every stone will be turned over here.”
Abdel Mohsen was ordered to be held in pre-trial detention on charges of murder, attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.
Police believe he acted alone, but German authorities They face questions About security and what they know about the suspect accused of using an emergency vehicle access lane to get into the market.
They are also answering questions after reports they were alerted last year about the suspect, with police saying they assessed whether he might pose a threat a year ago.
A source close to the Saudi government told the BBC that it had sent four official notices known as “verbal notes” to the German authorities, warning them of what it said were the “extremely extremist views” held by Abdul Mohsen.
However, a counter-terrorism expert told the BBC that the Saudis may have been conducting a disinformation campaign to discredit someone who tried to help young Saudi women seek asylum in Germany.
