FRANKFURT, Germany: An Afghan man suspected of stabbing to death two people, including a two-year-old boy, in a German park should be permanently placed in a psychiatric hospital, prosecutors recommended on Wednesday.
Germany was stunned by January´s attack on a play school group in the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg, one of a spate of bloody incidents that fuelled a heated immigration debate ahead of elections.
After concluding their investigation, prosecutors said that, based on a medical examination, “it can be assumed that the accused was not criminally responsible” for the attack “due to a psychiatric illness”.
